Abstract

Gender analysis of globalisation has focused exclusively on women and production – that is the impact of changes in the global economy on women's labour force participation. There is little analysis until now either on the implications of globalisation on the gender division of labour in reproductive work either in the monetised economy or the household in spite of extensive research on the impacts of economic reforms and structural adjustment policies on public provision of social services, such as health and education. This study argues that a focus on men's roles is essential in order to capture the wider dimensions of the gendered processes of globalisation and inform the current debate on global social policies in the context of labour flexibility and welfare reform.
