Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'une des originalités de cet ouvrage est d'offrir au public francophone une pensée féministe critique, encore peu connue en France, des institutions internationales (Nations Unies, Banque mondiale, Fonds monétaire international) et de la dangereuse récupération des pauvres et des femmes à laquelle elles se livrent. Quels que soient leur faiblesse et leur dénuement, tous devraient devenir des consommateurs et tous les moyens, parés de l'infinie bonne conscience du capitalisme, sont bons pour arriver à ce résultat convoité. Dégradante convoitise qui se cache, trop souvent avec l'aide des Nations Unies, sous le vocable de l'aide au " développement ". C'est là un des redoutables aspects de la mondialisation ; il réside dans un paradoxe tout aussi redoutable : la prolifération d'un discours multiforme mais univoque, diffusé sans répit selon de multiples modalités de communication, ce qui efface son sens et le lisse jusqu'à le rendre translucide. Autosatisfaction sémantique; mithridatisation par la monotonie. D'autres contributions montrent en contrepoint l'inscription factuelle des dénonciations générales. Les exemples fournis auraient pu être plus nombreux mais il nous a semblé suffisant de marquer quelques liens parmi d'autres.

Download or read book Women s Labor in the Global Economy written by Sharon Harley and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2007-06-05 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization is not a new phenomenon; women throughout the world have been dealing with the circumstances and consequences of an international economy long before the advent of the transnational corporate conglomerate. However, in a mercenary example of the tried clich "the more things change, the more they stay the same," women-particularly those of color-continue to be relegated to the lowest rung of the occupational ladder, where their indispensable contributions to global market capitalism are downplayed or invalidated completely through the perpetuation of stereotypes and the denial of access to better job opportunities and resources. How women of color around the world adapt and challenge the economic, political, and social effects of globalization is the subject of this broad-minded and incisive anthology. From Mexico, Jamaica, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Sri Lanka, to immigrant and non-immigrant communities in the United States-the women documented in these essays are agricultural and factory workers, artists and entrepreneurs, mothers and activists. Their stories bear stark witness to how globalization continues to develop new sites and forms of exploitation, while its apparent victims continue to be women, men, and children of color.

Download or read book Genre mondialisation et pauvret written by Fenneke Reysoo and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2002 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le discours sur le sous-développement s'est transformé en discours sur la pauvreté dans les agences de développement. On avance l'estimation que 70% des pauvres dans le monde sont des femmes... Cet ouvrage, qui constitue un ensemble avec celui qui le précède, interroge le pouvoir structurant de l'économie selon une perspective de genre pour comprendre la nature et les transformations des rapports entre hommes et femmes. Il se penche particulièrement sur l'accélération du mouvement de mondialisation qui va de pair avec l'accroissement de la pauvreté/prospérité et qui accentue l'inégalité des relations de genre et la subordination des femmes. Ce que nous essayons de montrer, à travers les divers textes ici présentés, est combien la notion de genre est indispensable pour comprendre comment est structurée cette réalité. Car le rôle des femmes dans l'économie, que nous avons mis en lumière dans le numéro deux, prend une place croissante avec la libéralisation économique. Et le travail de reproduction s'appuie de manière plus lourde sur les femmes, car le néolibéralisme tend à retirer toute intervention publique dans ces secteurs et la division sexuelle du travail dans les ménages est rarement remise en question. La mondialisation est un processus chargé de contradictions, qui peut aussi ouvrir des opportunités. L'accès accru aux revenus, même faibles, a parfois une influence sur les rapports de pouvoir entre hommes et femmes au sein des ménages. Les ouvertures à l'extérieur sont une voie d'accès au pouvoir (empowerment), elles permettent aux femmes de s'organiser, de comprendre, de remettre en question. Imperceptiblement parfois, de manière plus manifeste ailleurs, des transformations des identités de genre sont induites par la mondialisation. Des organisations plus larges se mettent en place, des recherches d'alternatives immédiates se conjuguent avec l'internationalisation de mouvements de femmes. Des transformations des relations de genre impliquent de profonds changements. Cependant, il ne s'agit pas seulement de chercher à promouvoir un développement aux relations de genre plus équitables, mais de promouvoir des identités de genre, des rapports sociaux entre hommes et femmes plus justes, qui favoriseraient un développement économique, social, politique et culturel différent. Les Cahiers Genre et Développement sont un recueil de documents de référence et d'articles originaux sur la notion de genre et l'analyse des problèmes de développement qu'elle permet. Ils ne constituent pas un " manuel " mais proposent de manière accessible, en langue française, un choix de documents sur la thématique " genre et développement ". Sans en être les actes (publiés par ailleurs), ils sont réalisés en lien avec les colloques annuels sur le genre de l'Institut universitaire d'études du développement à Genève.

Book excerpt: ÔThis nine-country study draws on government reports, books and journal articles to underpin unique empirical data that helps highlight the economic impact of women entrepreneurs. The book aims to improve womenÕs position as entrepreneurs globally and, in this regard, draws attention to the need to alleviate womenÕs poverty levels in some of the less developed economies. Women Entrepreneurs in the Global Marketplace should be of value to both scholars and policy makers by not only enhancing their understanding of womenÕs entrepreneurship, but also by helping them realise that a complex support matrix is required to ensure womenÕs future advancement.Õ Ð Colette Henry, Tromso University Business School, Norway This groundbreaking book examines the status of female entrepreneurs across the world, analyzing the social, political, cultural and economic factors that affect their positions in society and their contributions to entrepreneurship and innovation within their respective countries. Using a combination of original data and detailed statistics drawn from reports by government agencies and international organizations, Andrea E. Smith-Hunter discusses the accomplishments and challenges of women entrepreneurs in nine countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ghana, Iceland, India, Jamaica, Sweden and the United States. This geographic diversity provides a complete and comprehensive picture of women entrepreneurs worldwide Ð both their shared experiences and the specific conditions they face on a regional level. Following a detailed discussion of the current status of female entrepreneurs, the author offers a number of thoughtful recommendations for improving their opportunities and positions across the world. This innovative volume will prove highly useful for international organizations that assist women, as well as for professors and students of entrepreneurship studies and anyone else interested in the unique conditions faced by women entrepreneurs of the world.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait de la couverture : "Les politiques néo-libérales transformant l'organisation du travail et les contrats sociaux, imposant des marchés et mettant en place des Programmes d'ajustement structurel ont des effets spécifiques et souvent dramatiques sur la fonction économique des femmes. Ces dernières sont généralement les premières victimes de ces orientations, à la fois par la multiplication des industries de sous-traitance où elles sont majoritaires, par le développement du secteur informel comme stratégie de survie et parce qu'elles sont affectées par la suppression des aides alimentaires et des programmes sociaux, particulièrement sanitaires. Bien souvent, elles ne sont pas suffisamment défendues par les organisations ouvrières existantes. Cela pose au féminisme des problème de réflexion théorique et de programmes d'action."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Women's Entrepreneurship Research responds to recent calls from academic researchers and policy analysts alike to pay greater attention to the diversity and heterogeneity among women entrepreneurs. Drawing together studies by 26 researchers affiliated with the DIANA International Research Network, this collection contributes to a richer and more robust understanding of the field. Part I: 'Diverse Settings' introduces research set in a range of contexts, from those rarely examined to those representing more familiar terrains. Part II: 'Diverse Questions' explores new questions and reframes old questions in fresh, innovative ways. Part III: 'Diverse Approaches' features studies with distinct methodological approaches that reflect and extend the rigour and creativity of research in this field. Together, the research assembled in this volume significantly advances knowledge about women's entrepreneurship around the world. While the book's primary audience is academic researchers and graduate students working in the areas of women's entrepreneurship, as well as entrepreneurship and family business more generally, it will also be of interest to scholars working in related research areas in the sociology of gender, work and organizations. Policy-makers in government and non-government agencies as well as profit and not-for-profit organizations that provide services to, or conduct research on, women entrepreneurs will also benefit greatly from the insights provided in this unique volume.

Download or read book Women Globalization and Fragmentation in the Developing World written by H. Afshar and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1999-06-22 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of globalization has had a dramatic impact on the lives of women in developing countries in the past decade. They have been increasingly drawn into insecure flexible employment working for the world market. The feminisation of the labour market has increased the burdens on women, and the inability of men to access full-time well-remunerated employment has exacerbated the process of male out-migration and has left many families headed by women. At the same time the reduction in state services and welfare has increased the burdens placed on women. Nevertheless the consequences of globalization have been different for different women in different places. In some circumstances it has created opportunities for greater empowerment, whilst in others it has stimulated a reaction and increased the subordination of women. This book explores the experiences of women in diverse local contexts within different cultures and faiths, drawing on case studies from Asia, Africa and Latin America. It draws out the contradictory and fragmented impact of globalization at the local level on the lives of women in the developing world.

Book excerpt: S'il est un effet de la mondialisation peu souvent mis en avant et dénoncé, c'est bien la détérioration de la condition des femmes. Certes, l'oppression des femmes est antérieure au capitalisme. Cependant, au lieu de favoriser la réduction des écarts entre hommes et femmes, le néolibéralisme s'appuie grandement sur eux pour en tirer le meilleur profit économique : les firmes transnationales, toujours à la recherche de main-d'œuvre féminine, peu chère et corvéable à merci, n'hésitent pas à délocaliser... Dans les pays du Nord, les emplois les plus précaires, souvent ultra-flexibles et à temps partiel incombent aux femmes. Ne prennent-elles pas aussi en charge, dans de nombreux pays, la subsistance des familles, les soins et l'éducation des enfants, en suppléant aux carences des services privatisés ? La Banque mondiale ne s'y est pas trompée, qui leur prête une grande attention puisque les femmes constituent une " variable " qui aide à encaisser les ajustements structurels... Il convient de sortir de cet engrenage. Aujourd'hui, au nord comme au sud, la lutte des femmes s'inscrit au cœur du combat altermondialiste : elles constituent une force vive dans le réseau International de résistance à la marchandisation du monde.

Download or read book Female Entrepreneurship and Its Factors of Influence written by Melanie Keller and published by Grin Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Company formation, Business Plans, Management Center Innsbruck, language: English, abstract: This paper starts with a definition of the term entrepreneurship and its relation to eco-nomic development in the second section. The third section is concerned with the elab-oration of women's motives and intentions as well as the challenges and constraints affecting their decision to engage in entrepreneurial activity. The penultimate section deals with the influence of macro-environmental factors on the emergence of women-owned enterprises. Finally, the last section discusses and summarizes the results. Due to the fact that entrepreneurship includes a huge variety of activities and undergoes constant change, many definitions are existent. Thus, entrepreneurship is nowadays seen as a dynamic process requiring energy and passion towards new ideas and crea-tive solutions. Entrepreneurs are supposed to take risks, while simultaneously identifying opportunities . However, not every entrepreneur has the possibility to recognize opportunities, as his or her entry into entrepreneurship is strongly depend-ent on the surrounding environment. Some entrepreneurs are indeed able to "respond to a perceived market opportunity. Others are forced into starting a business due to unfa-vorable circumstances" . Unfavorable circumstances are, for example, the unavailability of "appropriate paid employment in recessionary economic conditions."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait de la préface : "DAWN dresse ici une critique féministe de l'impact de la globalisation sur les sociétés et les économies du Sud et sur les femmes qui y vivent. L'analyse comparée d'expériences africaines, asiatiques, latino-américaines, caribéennes et océaniennes dans le cadre de l'économie politique mondiale, analyse effectuée à partir de questionnements, réflexions et travaux communs dont les résultats ont été restitués lors d'ateliers régionaux et inter-régionaux, donne toute son originalité à l'exercice. Elle a permis à des femmes de diverses régions du Sud, "coincées" entre l'Etat et le marché, de les interroger, de renforcer leur conviction d'une communauté de destin dans le cadre de la globalisation, de réfléchir sur le sens de leurs luttes et d'affirmer l'urgente nécessité de joindre leurs efforts pour plus d'égalité entre les sexes et une meilleure justice sociale."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4ème de couv. indique : "Fatou Sarr étudie les rapports entre les sexes dans l'histoire du développement au Sénégal. La libération de la main d'œuvre des contrôles sociaux propres aux sociétés antérieures à la colonisation a bien ouvert un espace à l'expansion des marchés, mais elle n'a pas contribué à libérer les travailleurs, ni même à leur assurer une amélioration matérielle de leurs conditions de vie. L'absence de prise en charge des travailleurs devait se solder par une dégradation des conditions matérielles et morales, parallèle à la croissance économique. Les avancées sont, dans ces conditions, presque exclusivement le produit des luttes sociales. Il reste que ces avancées sont limitées par les insuffisances des interventions de l'Etat, condition incontournable d'un développement soutenu, auxquelles aucun réseau d'organisation de la société civile ne peut être substitué."
