Trade Liberalisation: Challenges and opportunities for women in Southeast Asia and beyond Overview
This book explores the challenges and opportunities that trade liberalisation presents to women in Southeast Asia and elsewhere. The papers by international experts analyse how trade policies have far-reaching consequences for women's livelihoods. Women constitute a significant proportion of the workforce in the export industries of Southeast Asia, giving a "competitive edge" to these industries. This was particularly so prior to the Asian economic crisis. Trade liberalisation intensifies export competition, with im-plications for women's employment. Women's economic well-being is also affected by the increased scope of trade, which now includes new issues such as agriculture, intellectual property rights, services and foreign investments.Available at Amazon This price decline.
