The Impact of Globalisation on Women

Abstract

This paper examines the effects of globalisation on women in the world regions Which grouped by United Nations as developed countries, developing countries, Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Oceania, Western Asia, Southern-East Asia, Eastern Asia, Northern Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa. The effect of globalisation on women was evaluated through labour force participation, employment structure, educational attainment, health status and political power. Although the global vision has been presented as a borderless world, in which all countries are integrated into a unified order, the findings of the research have indicated that women status differs widely in world regions. Women in developing regions generally have negative effects of globalisation.
