内容説明

Until now there has been little coordinated research on the role of women in the economics of developing countries. However the study of the position of women in the world economy has become increasingly vital against the background of the recent world-wide economic crisis, which has had a significant impact on the economic roles traditionally assigned to women in those countries. In this book emerging long-term trends in the world economy are analyzed to show their effect on the economic position of women in developing countries. Stressing the interlinkages between the macro and micro levels of the economy, the book approaches the subject from two perspectives: the position of women who are engaged in what is defined as gainful employment - that is women who are wage earners - and the role of women in unpaid labour such as household work, farm work on their own land, and other activities that put them in the position of managing resources. Specially commissioned by the United Nations group INSTRAW (International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women) this book should lead to a re-evaluation of the dynamic contribution by women to the processes of economic development.

内容説明

In this book, emerging long-term trends in the world economy are analysed to show their effect on the economic position of women in developing countries. Stressing the interlinkages between the macro and micro levels of the economy, the book approaches the subject from the perspective of both wage earning women and those in roles of unpaid labour such as housework and farmwork. The book provides the first methodological synthesis of these approaches to portray women in developing countries as active participants in development. Analysing the employment trends for women by geographical region and by sector the author assesses how the emergence of a modern international economy has affected the economic position of women.
