SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Written for the International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women, this volume investigates the role of women in developing nations and the impact of burgeoning international trade and finance on women in those countries. The author approaches the subject from two perspectives: the position of women who are engaged in gainful employment and of those in unpaid labor. She analyzes the employment trends for women by geographical region and by sector--agriculture, manufacturing, and the services--and assesses how the international economy has affected the economic position of women. She concludes that women's economic position has improved as a result of international exchange, and suggests directions for innovative development policies related to women.
