- Description
- 'The study demonstrates how the labour market and the world of work in general are clearly sex-disaggregated and how important it is to undertake analysis of the impact of macroeconomic policies on growth, employment and poverty reduction, with specific consideration of such segmentation. The study also demonstrates how different aspects of macroeconomic policies affect women’s and men’s work differently. The relevant implications should be taken into consideration for the formulation of economic and employment policies, adapting them to different economic disposition and evolution episode of various economies, as well as relative location of women and men in the world of work of that particular country.'

- 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.
