Women & The Economy - Globalization & Women's Work From losing good government jobs, to less access to unionized jobs, to being left to pick up the slack when social services are no longer available, women are having a tough time coping with the reality of economic globalization. Women's experiences of both paid and unpaid work have been affected by this growing trend. More often than not economic globalization has led to increased workloads, lower pay, and more stress. Economic globalization has meant that many companies are cutting costs. Downsizing affects women's home lives as well. The public sector has not been immune from the trend towards corporate downsizing. Reducing public services also affects women's unpaid work as they are forced to pick up the slack that the public sector leaves out. Women also find jobs in an even tougher job market and are willing to work for lower pay when that's all they can find. Unions have always worked hard to protect women in the workplace.
