| In this book the author Teri L. Caraway analyzes the gender inqualities at work by using a multilevel methodology. She addresses two related questions: What has prompted the feminization of manufacturing work in developing countries, and why has it failed to significantly erode gender inequalities at work? The author not only offers case studies and in-depth analysis of employment changes in Indonesia but combines it with cross-national data to show that the feminization of the workplace produced by industrialization policies has reconfigured and reproduced, rather than overturned, gender divisions of labor at work. Caraway challenges the conventional wisdom that export-oriented industrialization and women's cheap labor are the driving forces behind feminization. Instead, she argues, the answers can be found in weak unions and current social practice. Caraway employs information about a wide range of industries--capital-intensive, male-dominated, non-export firms as well as female-dominated, labor-intensive, export-oriented industries--in arriving at her conclusions. One of the results of Caraways study are that globalization doesnt't improve the lives of women workers. | |
