Gender Perspectives and Gender Impacts of the Global Economic Crisis
The World Bank and gender inequality
Gender and International Migration
This contribution examines the connections between gender and international migration around three themes: globalization, national economic development, and governance. First, it discusses the connections between globalization and the multiplicity of processes that have contributed to international migration and its feminization, arguing that gender awareness is crucial to understanding these processes. Gender analysis makes visible the increasin…
The Measurement of Socio-economic Gender Inequality Revisited
The measurement of socio-economic gender inequality has not received much attention from the development literature despite its great relevance and important policy implications. In this article we present two new indices to measure gender inequalities that overcome some of the limitations inherent in the UNDP gender-related indices and other indices presented in the literature. The proposed new indices are conducive to exploring the extent to wh…
The crisis of care, international migration, and public policy
Focusing on Europe's reconciliation policies, aimed to balance family and labor market work, this paper explores whether some of the legislative efforts introduced in Europe during the past decade could be applied to Latin American countries with important migrant populations, such as Bolivia and Ecuador. This paper argues that there are differences between Northern and Southern countries that would influence the effectiveness of these kinds of p…

Globalization, Gender And The Davos Man
Using Karl Polanyi's analysis of the social construction of markets in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Europe, the paper applies his analysis to the formation of global markets in the late twentieth century. The paper argues that Polanyi's work needs to be engendered in order to take into consideration women's and men's different links to the market and to understand the construction of "economic man" gone global. The paper also addresses…

Structural Adjustment and Social Emergency Funds
Toward a greater integration of gender in economics
This paper argues that feminist analysis is finally making an impact in the field of economics. It begins with an historical overview of the alternative theoretical approaches that have discussed women's issues, particularly since the 1950s and 1960s, and it argues that, during the 1980s and 1990s, these approaches have tended to converge, at least partially, through the use of gender as a central category of analysis. The influence of postmodern…

Accounting for women's work
This paper reviews the progress made toward a more accurate statistical recording of women's economic activities. Beginning with an assessment of the main areas in which the underestimation of women's work has been prevalent, the article examines the conceptual, theoretical and methodological progress made during the past two decades. This progress has contributed to the improvement of statistics regarding women in subsistence production and has …

The Crossroads of Class and Gender
In this innovative exploration of the interaction between economic processes and social relations, Lourdes Beneria and Martha Roldan examine the effect of homework on gender and family dynamics. Their fieldwork in Mexico City during 1981-82 has enabled them to provide important new empirical data on industrial piecework performed by women as well as intimate glimpses of these women's lives which place that piecework in context. Tracing the stages…

Class and Gender Inequalities and Women's Role in Economic Development
Although problems faced by Third World women in their social and economic lives have gotten more attention from developmental agencies in the past decade there has been insufficient attention paid to respecting womens economic and reproductive rights. It is necessary to examine the interaction of class formation and gender relations in order to understand the nature of womens subordination and to change societies to make them more egalitarian. Ch…

Conceptualizing the labor force
This paper analyzes the concepts underlying existing labor force statistics and their built‐in tendency to underestimate women's contribution to production. It argues that available statistics must be used with great caution and that differences in participation rates across countries can be misleading. The paper criticizes conventional definitions of economic activity and of labor force concepts; it suggests that use value production should be v…
