what is social reproduction
Answers
Answer:
Social reproduction is a concept originally proposed by Karl Marx in Das Kapital, and is a variety of his broader idea of reproduction.
The concept has been deployed within Marxist Feminism to explain the role of women in wider social and class structures, and their (often unrecognised) contribution to the capitalist economy via their (traditional) role within the household as both child-bearers, and caring for the family. Social reproduction in this sense can be used to explain the free labour that is necessary to produce and maintain current and future workers
According to sociologist Christopher B. Doob, it "refers to the emphasis on the structures and activities that transmit social inequality from one generation to the next".[1] According to Pierre Bourdieu, there are four types of capital that contribute to social reproduction in society. They are financial capital, cultural capital, human capital, and social capital.
