Demystifying the phenomenon of globalization, this book
offers 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).
An incisive guide to the impact of globalization on women’s
work, the book will be invaluable for scholars, activists, the general public,
whose very livelihood is at stake, and indeed for policy makers.
Indrani Mazumdar is fellow, Centre for Women’s Development
Studies, Delhi and a long time activist in the women’s movement.
