Gender-inclusive industrialization for growth and development in the context of globalization

Abstract

Gender-equitable inclusive growth can be considered in light of the simultaneous challenges of industrialization and globalization. This chapter examines the gendered sphere of production, excluding explicit consideration of finance or social reproduction. By doing so, it can focus on the intersecting roles of gender and class in determining both the distributional causes and consequences of growth. Hence the analysis of social inclusion and growth is squarely centered in the realm of paid work.
