Women, Globalization and Fragmentation in the Developing World Afshar Haleh
The process of globalization has had a dramatic impact on the lives of women in developing countries in the past decade. The feminisation 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 out-migration and has left many families headed by women. They have been increasingly drawn into insecure flexible employment working for the world market.
Nevertheless the consequences of globalization have been different for different women in different places. At the same time the reduction in state services and welfare has increased the burdens placed on women. In some circumstances it has created opportunities for greater empowerment, whilst in others it has stimulated a reaction and increased the subordination of women.
