- Description
- Since the economic and political collapse of former Yugoslavia, Republic of Montenegro suffered the loss of more than half of the economic power it had. Montenegro is currently part of the state union of Serbia and Montenegro. The position of women in Montenegro has improved since 1945, when on basis of the Constitution women became equal to men and got their right to vote. But the past ten years the social position of women deteriorated significantly.

- Description
- The countries of the region, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Former Yugoslav Republic (FRY) of Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro belong to the least developed countries in Europe. These Western Balkan countries are also progressing towards EU membership. Most of the experiences of moving from a communist/socialist regime and state-led economies to free market economies have been negative. Women have absorbed the shock of the adjustment by intensifying their unpaid work necessary because of budget cuts in basic public services. The economic and social status of women is declining. The harmonisation of domestic legislation with EU legislation has been beneficial for women, as it has meant adopting and developing laws, legal measures and mechanisms for protecting women’s rights and empowering women. As part of the EU membership process, all the governments in the region have started to develop and set up national machineries for advancement of women and adopt laws on equal opportunities of both sexes.

- Description
- The sectors of the economy in Georgia in which women majority traditionally participated have changed dramatically in recent years. Gender inequality has become more acute and women's security and the protection of their labor rights have become worse. The socioeconomic situation and gender-neutral policies create specific barriers that obstruct women's succesful political and professional careers.

- Description
- This paper draws on the extensive but mixed discussions around the concepts of globalization and liberalization with a view to exploring their linkages with gender inequality and economic growth in the specific context of developing countries of Africa. The equity considerations of globalization allow to link the touted macro impacts with micro impacts with respect to employment, income, food production and food security. These are expressed via household level responses in the process of agricultural commercialization and export led industrialization. Putting the expectations from liberalization and structural adjustment policies through the gender lens allows to deconstruct stylized facts about globalization impacts on developing countries' human development indicators especially poverty, food security and gender relations of production as well as on macroeconomic indicators such as income, employment, wages and so on. Empirical evidences that either support or deconstruct these stylized facts are presented to show the many facets of globalization on the lives of women and men in agrarian and semi-industrialized countries. The conclusion is that understanding and eradication of feminized poverty in sub-Sahara Africa must be based on a heterodox feminist, rather than a neoclassical analysis of not only the macro but also the micro dynamics of responses to globalization and liberalization policies.

- Description
- Sri Lanka offers an interesting paradox of social advancement and economic stagnation in the context of globalization. Sri Lankan women in spite of enjoying better status and position compared to other developing countries, have low levels of participation in economic activity. In such a setting, this study aims to take a fresh look at the current situation of gender equality in the labour market in Sri Lanka. This is particularly important in view of the fact that in developing countries like Sri Lanka the potential gender implications of economic contribution are arguably more important than all others. In this study, the author shows that globalization has led to marginalization and has created gender inequality in the labour market in Sri Lanka.

- This paper draws on the extensive but mixed discussions around the concepts of globalization and liberalization with a view to exploring their linkages with gender inequality and economic growth in the specific context of developing countries of Africa. The equity considerations of globalization allow us to link the touted macro impacts with micro impacts with respect to employment, income, food production and food security. These are expressed via household level responses in the process of agricultural commercialization and export led industrialization. Putting the expectations from liberalization and structural adjustment policies through the gender lens allows us to deconstruct stylized facts about globalization impacts on developing countries' human development indicators especially poverty, food security and gender relations of production as well as on macroeconomic indicators such as income, employment, wages and so on.
