Gender Dimensions of Globalization
Abstract
This paper focuses only on two aspects of the global economy that particularly illuminate women’s position and issues related to gender equality: first, global supply chains and production networks that reflect the current nature and pattern of international trade and investment; and second, the international migration of care services workers. These have an impact on labour markets and on women and men in both the South and the North, in developing and developed countries. For example, there is widespread concern in developed countries that trade with low-wage countries and labour migration are responsible for job losses and growing wage inequality in developed countries. However, this paper gives particular attention to issues in developing countries.
