Women, Labour and Empowerment in the Context of Globalization

This book is a comprehensive collection of academic research that explores the intricate relationship between globalisation, female labour, and economic empowerment. The book examines how global economic shifts have created new professional opportunities in STEM and urban markets while simultaneously entrenching wage gaps, precarious employment, and the double burden of unpaid domestic work. Special attention is given to the unique struggles of migrant care workers and home-based labourers navigating complex global supply chains. The book emphasises that achieving true gender equality requires a holistic approach that combines legal reform with a fundamental challenge to patriarchal social norms. Ultimately, the authors advocate for targeted policy interventions and inclusive leadership to ensure that technological and economic progress benefits women across all sectors.
