- Description
- This edited volume brings together six case studies about the need for better organizing work and trade so as to bargain for better wages and working conditions in a number of developing countries. Three link local producers with global markets : a cocoa cooperative of 54,000 producers in Ghana who are co-owners of a chocolate company in the UK: family-based cooperatives in Samoa which produce organic virgin coconut oil for export: and small enterprises in Mozambique which are helping to regenerate the cashew processing and export industry. three focus on improving the working conditions of the hundreds of thousands of wage workers in global value chains : those in the fruit exporting industry in South Africa: those in the garment export industry in Bangladesh: and those in the newly created call centres in India.

- Description
- Gender and development theory and analysis is replete with implicit assumptions that women's entry into the world of paid work will positively affect their status both in the household and in the public sphere. Until recently the debate on global factories and export production has remained focused on women's individual experience of export employment- and the extent to which this represents a positive opportunity or gross exploitation. In spite of the extended discussion of rights and citizenship in the global economy, little attention has hitherto been paid to the implications for women's entitlements arising out of their pivotal role in export sectors. Whilst many assume that women's visible and crucial presence in key economic sectors will be reflected in the ways in which social policies are formulated, there has been up to now little empirical and analytical engagement with this question. This volume, bringing together detailed commissioned studies from six developing countries, aims to fill this gap.
