| Investigating the impact of globalization on women workers in India, this book demystifies the phenomenon of globalization, offering an overview of its prime drivers, processes and forces. Four sectoral studies of women workers are provided: two on factory women in garment exports and electronics; the third on home-based workers in a range of manufacturing processes and industries; and the fourth on middle class women working in Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES). The author suggests that new avenues of employment combine with new forms of cultural degradation, with technology itself becoming an instrument of closer and more oppressive systems of social control. The globalization decade in India has been marked by an extreme volatility in employment that is generalized across all sectors. The book discusses declining wages in the manufacturing sector, often far below subsistence, and points to the widening gap between male and female employment. | |
