Gender Equality and Globalization

About The Book

The best introduction to global feminist economics and development is Gender Development and Globalization. Because social factors are difficult to incorporate into institutions like rules, regulations, markets, and organisations, gender is a problem for development. The mainstreaming of gender in development institutions is a term that is frequently used to describe this process. When it comes to having access to resources, services, knowledge, and formal decision-making standing, women frequently find themselves at a disadvantage. In order to bring about social and institutional change that results in sustainable development with equity and growth, gender equality is regarded as a crucial component in achieving Decent Work for All Women and Men. Gender equality is the idea that everyone should have the same chances, rights, and responsibilities, regardless of whether they were born male or female. Gender developmental scientists are interested in various aspects of the emergence and patterning of gendered actions and thoughts, as well as age-related variations in gender type. The description of these changes is crucial since it contributes to gender development theory. Shorter time frames are also helpful for identifying processes that may underlie developmental patterns. Using a broad lens on age-related changes provides important information describing how development occurs. Gender is now more widely recognised as a crucial factor in research and development strategy. In social interactions between men and women, gender is an expression of power. Academics, researchers, planners, students, NGOs, civic organisations, and everyone else interested in gender and women's studies will find the book to be of great services.
