Geschlecht, Globalisierung und Entwicklung

Abstract

In this paper I discuss about development and globalization in Latin America from the perspective of gender studies and the sociology of work. I emphasize on gender as a central dimension of current social inequalities. I analyze the consequences of the import susbstitution industrialization model on women’s work and gender inequality; also the repercussions of the neo-liberal globalization on women’s work conditions and employ, and on the family’s survival strategies in some latin-american countries. I finally propose some views for the future.
