Produktbeschreibung

Further, a detailed analysis of the gender effects of the liberalization of foreign direct investment reveals this policy to have both benefits and drawbacks from the perspective of progress towards gender equality. In relation to trade, a critical overview of the role of the World Trade Organization (WTO) reveals how, by ignoring the gender biases in labour markets and elsewhere, WTO policies can contribute to the perpetuation of gender inequalities.

---

Using country case studies from Latin America and Asia, this edited volume explores the effects of various development strategies and associated macroeconomic policies on women's well-being and progress towards gender equality.
