Sinopsis

The process of globalization has had an impact on the lives of women in developing countries in the past decade. They have been drawn into insecure flexible employment working for the world market. The feminization of the labour market has increased the burdens on women, and the inability of men to access full-time well-remunerated employment has exacerbated the process of male migration and has left many families headed by women. At the same time the reduction in state services and welfare has increased the burdens placed on women. Nevertheless the consequences of globalization have been different for different women in different places. In some circumstances it has created opportunities for greater empowerment, whilst in others it has stimulated a reaction and increased the subordination of women. This text explores the experiences of women in diverse local contexts within different cultures and faiths, drawing on case studies from Asia, Africa and Latin America.
