This book provides a survey and analysis of the different ways in
which women's work is valued throughout the world. It challenges
the narrow definition of work as paid work, as that excludes so
many of women's activities. It looks at ways in which women's worth
has been consistently undervalued in industrial as well as
non-industrial countries, in socialist as well as free-enterprise
economies. These practices distort the national product of
countries heavily dependent on women's labour, but, above all, they
are among the most obvious marks of the exploitation of women.
Technological changes are already altering established female/male
divisions of labour. Transnational enterprises, often located in
Special Economic Zones, are reducing differences between industrial
and nonindustrial countries. Valuing women's work correctly,
whether unpaid in the home or underpaid outside it, is part of the
battle against discrimination and poverty. Men who do similar work
also benefit. It is the crucial step towards the achievement of
male/female equality. The book will be particularly valuable for
those concerned with the issues, in trade unions, women's groups,
international agencies and NGOs and for course in economics and
social studies.
