dc.description.abstractContrary to economists’ hypothesis that trade liberalization would reduce discrimination—including gender bias—through increased competition, Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) research shows that impacts vary: in a globalized economy, social protection and wage equity policies are needed to address frequent labour market adjustments where production is highly mobile, and constantly shifting to where wage costs are lower.
