- Description
- This report reveals the double standards at the corporate practices that are emerging under globalisation. Globalisation and trade have drawn women in developing countries into paid work. But women workers are systematically being denied their fair share of the benefits from their labour. As part of Oxfam’s campaign to Make Trade Fair, Oxfam is joining partner organisations worldwide to demand that women working in the supply chains of some of the world’s most powerful companies get their fair share of the gains from trade.

- 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.
