About This Item
Bloomfield, CT, U.S.A: Kumarian Press, 2002. First Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. This book examines the relationship between macroeconomic changes in recent decades and women working in the subcontracted sector in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines; some of the issues examined include whether subcontracted work has increased and under what conditions, the forces that influence its prevalence, who benefits from this changing production pattern within countries and across nations, and the impact of this kind of wage labor on women's social status and gender relations (tan cloth with red lettering, very slightly rubbed, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
