[IWS] ILO: POVERTY & GENDER IMPLICATIONS: GLOBALIZATION, ECONOMIC POLICY & EMPLOYMENT [June 2006]]

Globalization is a process which affects all economies to varying degrees and has had both negative and positive influences on economic growth and employment, depending on the economic predisposition of a given economy, particularly in international trade, the set of macroeconomic policies adopted and how they are laid out in the overall development process and economic evolution. The study is, therefore, an attempt to analyse the overall impact of globalization and macroeconomic policies on employment and poverty trends with a specific gender perspective, or an attempt to engender employment and poverty implications of macroeconomic policies. The study also forms a part of the ILOs efforts to address the social dimension of globalization, in order to promote a fair and inclusive globalization through productive and decent employment for all.
