Does trade improve prospects for
women's employment and promote greater gender equality
in wages? Trade creates or expands some activities and
destroys or diminishes others. If an individual works in an
expanding sector or is able to switch to one, she or he is
likely to benefit. Evidence shows that trade tends to
increase the availability of wage jobs for women,
particularly in export sectors. But certain factors-such as
discrimination, lower skills, and gender inequalities in
access to resources-may impede women's ability to
benefit from trade expansion. Some of these factors may be
especially prevalent among female farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa. |
