flagship publication of the Department of Economic

Focusing on developing countries, the 76-page report gives a detailed overview

trends associated with globalization from a gender
point of view. It further discusses the importance
of these effects in terms of their influence on
women's relative position within the household and
the labour markets around the world. Click here
