Making Sense of Gender in the World Economy: Focus on Latin America
论文强调性别是全球经济中权力和资源分配的主要力量,分析拉丁美洲女性加入劳动力市场后男性面临的双重经历,以及性别如何重塑劳动力结构和社会角色。
The paper highlights gender as a main force in the distribution of power and resources in the global economy. As more Latin American women join the labor force, men partake of a two-fold experience; while some are making gains as technicians and professionals, many more are working in jobs with characteristics formerly associated with female employment. As workforces reconfigure on the basis of gender, men and women confront new dilemmas about their proper roles in society.
