On organising women in casualised work
Conclusion
Valuing Women’s Voices
This article discusses the experiences of women workers in the emerging Information Technology Enabled Services sector (ITES), in particular those working in call centers representing customer care services for both national and globally-outsourced business entities. Although the Malaysian and Indian cases are not entirely comparable, the case studies give a certain insight into the changes in the lives and career patterns of women in the develop…
Globalization, ICTs, and Economic Empowerment
The article evaluates the problematic of ICTs-led globalization from the perspectives of women of poorer countries. It does so by documenting the opportunities and challenges that women of the developing world encounter in the global digital economy, either as traders on the Net or as employees in the ICTs-enabled sectors. It assesses the impact of networking technologies on women’s working lives as in call centers or in teleworking. The discours…
Dignity And Daily Bread
Women Encounter Technology
This collection explores the effects of new technologies on women's employment and on the nature of women's work. The volume is edited by two pre-eminent scholars in the field and contains thirteen articles from leading academics worldwide.

Bringing Women's Voices into the Dialogue on Technology Policy and Globalization in Asia
This article documents an innovative research project 'Monitoring the Impact of Technological Changes in Women's Employment in the Asian Region'. Initiated in 1994 by the United Nations University Institute for New Technologies (UNU/INTECH), the project sought to democratise the dialogue around technological changes and globalization by bringing together NGOs active among women workers, academic researchers and policy makers. It was guided by the…
Globalization, Technological Changes and the Search for a New Paradigm for Women’s Work
This paper provides the background for the essays included in the volume. In the context of the opportunities and challenges that the current technology-led globalization has brought to women’s employment in Asia, the paper gives the rationale for a new conceptual paradigm. Such a paradigm is necessary, the paper argues, for analyzing the consequences of an emerging techno-economic order that is imported and does not take into account the specifi…
What Women Demand of Technology
Looking back, my interest in technology must have begun somewhere around 1947—it started in my mother’s kitchen where, I still remember, she used to resort to ingenious fuel-saving devices in order to stretch the small sum of money that she had for feeding her six children, elderly parent-in-law

Socialism Out of the Common Pots
During my visit to India this summer, many of my Marxist politician friends asked me whether in the West socialism was universally believed to be dead. They sounded worried, and understandably so. With East meeting West in Europe, and 1992 looming large, the radicals of the Third World felt apprehensive about their international allies. The issue as they saw it was no longer whether to be Pro-Chinese or Pro-Russian, but whether to hold on to the …
Common Fate, Common Bond
The rise of the new technology and the power of the multinationals to shift their production anywhere they choose has led to a massive rise in the employment of women. This text investigates the status of women in the global economy
Industrial restructuring and manufacturing homework
This article argues that recent government and other studies have failed to identify the proliferation of home-work and small sweat shops in the clothing industry in the UK. Swasti Mitter dismisses the argument that recent changes in labour/output ratios can be explained by increased labour productivity in the clothing industry, suggesting instead that an increasing proportion of output is being shifted from factories to the unregulated sector wh…
