Regional gender regimes in the global South: An empirical approach
Transnational‐Migrant Domestic Workers' Cultural Activism Online: The Case of an Indonesian Islamic‐Writing Group in Hong Kong
This study aims to illustrate the nuanced efficacy of Islamic‐writing activism by Indonesian domestic workers in Hong Kong, who vigorously utilize online spheres. We regard this group as a part of transnational migrant domestic workers' cultural activism, which is currently flourishing in the region. In particular, we pay a special attention to this group's intersectional themes in Islam and writing, to ask how an intersectional activist group ut…
Researching Women in Latin America and the Caribbean
This comprehensive critique and review of two decades of cross-disciplinary research discusses how current scholarship on women and gender in specific disciplines or topical areas - including history, anthropology, sociology, political economy and literature - is reconstructing knowledge, expanding traditional fields of enquiry and revitalizing Latin-American and Caribbean studies
International Gender Division of Labor
The international division of labor, or the global assembly line, is gendered in many ways and the global growth in employment has many characteristics of women's unpaid household labor. Increasingly, it is feminized, flexible (part‐time, temporary, and seasonal), in the informal economy, involves reproductive or carework, and is considered unskilled (although it is not)
Patterns of Global Gender Inequalities and Regional Gender Regimes
This article draws on data from various sources for 190 developed and developing nations and uses them to examine gender regimes, or forms of patriarchal structures, at the regional level. I argue for multiple, rather than single, measures of gender inequality and illustrate that using many inequality measures exposes a wider range of outcomes within the Global South than the North, also suggesting the inefficacy of this geographic dichotomy. The…
Global Variations in Gender Inequalities
International Gender Division of Labor
World systems theorists were among the first to use the concept of an international division of labor by illustrating how the production of goods and services for “core” or more developed countries relied on the material resources of “peripheral” or developing nations (Wallerstein 1974). Their work describes the changing political and economic relationships among nations over the last six centuries, beginning with the period of colonization when …
Gender and Development
Since the 1960s, different theoretical frameworks have been used to understand how women are located in global economic processes, and each has had a concomitant strategy to enhance women's positions. Modernization approaches were common in the mid‐twentieth century, but these strategies were criticized by dependency theorists. By the 1970s, such male‐focused arguments were largely supplanted by women in development, and, more recently, by a wide…
Intersectionality and Global Gender Inequality
Christine E. Bose (2000-2003)
in demonstrating how to think about policy and offer models for women centered and feminist social action. The experience of editor provided nearly daily contact with the work of scholars across the country. It was always educational and also humbling. And in spite of the hard work, the long hours and the painful gate-keeping, it was a pleasure to do the job. Interestingly, two observations give me tremendous pleasure now as I finish this essay: …
Eastern Sociological Society Presidential Address: Globalizing Gender Issues: Many Voices, Different Choices 1
Why are the important gender inequality issues different in various countries around the world? This question is answered using a comparative perspective on extant research about gender inequalities in the regions of the world. Just as there is diversity among individual women, based on their intersecting axes of age, race, ethnicity, class, marital status, sexual orientation, religion, or other characteristics, I argue that there is diversity ac…

Over the last half‐century there have been different theoretical frameworks used to understand how women are located in global economic processes, and each has had a concomitant strategy to enhance women's position. In the middle of the twentieth century modernization approaches were common, but dependency theorists critiqued these strategies. By the 1970s these male‐focused arguments were largely supplanted by women in development (WID) ones, an…
Global Dimensions of Gender and Carework
Why are women such prominent workers in the global marketplace? Why do so many perform jobs that involve carework? What political forces have made these women key participants in globalization? What are the consequences for the women themselves, for their families, and for societies and international relations in general? This book offers a provocative examination of globalization, examining the lives of the women at the center of these new globa…

Common Wealth: Self-Sufficiency and Work in American Communities, 1830 to 1993
This historical and sociological book makes the argument that, for about 90 years following the rise of steam-powered industry in the US, low- to moderate-income households continued to rely on extensive informal, non-waged work to supplement low wages

From Structural Subordination to Empowerment: Women and Development in Third World Contexts
This article argues that the condition of women in Third World societies cannot be separated from the colonial experience since the power relationships that were established during the colonial era between Europe and its territories, and between women and men, have not varied significantly and are still recreated through contemporary mechanisms. For example, development projects promoted by Western countries to modernize the Third World have, in …

Jobs and Gender: A Study of Occupational Prestige
Household Resources and U.S. Women's Work: Factors Affecting Gainful Employment at the Turn of the Century
Using the Census P.U.S., we focus on household composition and resources which influenced the distribution of paid work to female adult and younger members of households in 1900. Controls for individual and geographic variables are included. Two different household-level processes lowered women's rate of gainful employment, although their usage varied by race and ethnicity. First, home-based alternatives inhibited seeking jobs for which women mig…
The Seriousness of Crimes: Normative Structure and Individual Differences
Using ratings of the seriousness of a set of 140 crimes obtained from a household sample taken in Baltimore in 1972, the study explores certain collective characteristics of these ratings. Respondents largely agree on the relative ordering of crimes. Very few descriptive characteristics of the crimes account for much of the variation from crime to crime in the average ratings received. The more highly educated and the younger the respondents, the…
Gender and Jobs: Prestige Standings of Occupations as Affected by Gender
Our main objective is the measurement of prestige for the full range of men's and women's occupations and of gender incumbency effects on prestige; subsidiary goals include examination of rater and job characteristics. The research design combines the approach of controlled experiments with that of the sample survey. Household and college sample respondents each rate 110 occupations using standard NORC prestige methods and metrics. Our findings s…

Wage-Attainment Processes: The Retail Clerk Case
Status-attainment and organizations literatures are integrated to develop a model of intraoccupational wage attainment using opensystems theory of organizations to specify structural parameters of the wage-attainment process. We analyze the effects of personal characteristics and organization structure on wages of retail clerks within one labor market. While sex and marital status show wage effects in dependent of work context, the data support o…

Household Technology and the Social Construction of Housework
Historians and social scientists generally agree that the forces of industrialization and the growth of the market economy have progressively absorbed much of the household's economic function. Furthermore, popular belief assumes that the vestiges of old forms of production in the home will surely be eliminated by the application of technological rationality. Put another way, it is thought by the public and many academics that technology, broadly…
