Gender and the Global Economy
Author(s)Beneria, Lourdes
AbstractAs the globalization of economic relations proceeds, the need to understand the role of gender from a global perspective emerges with greater intensity. Where are women located in the new international division of labor? Can we assume that women’s labor force participation is increasing worldwide? As international capitalism expands, how are class and gender integrated in the face of a rapidly changing economic landscape? What are the major issues emerging with respect to how gender is used in the global economy? The internationalization of the economy intersects with the economic and social position of women in complex ways. This paper offers an overview and an assessment of major global trends affecting women’s experience of work.
