GLOBALISATION : PROS AND CONS EFFECT ON WOMEN

 UPSC GS MAIN IMPORTANT QUESTION :


DISCUSS THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF

 GLOBALISATION ON WOMEN IN INDIA


Globalization refers to the speedup of movements and exchanges (of human beings, goods, and services, capital, technologies or cultural practices) all over the planet.





Globalisation has impacted almost every community in India, women being no exception. Globalisation has created new avenues for women pushing higher literacy rate , better awareness and increased partcipation in the workforce. 

With the onset of globalisation the liberal values have penetrated deep into the Indian Society acknowledging the rights of women. Globalisation has brought worldwide organizations into India providing immense opportunities for higher pay, which raises self-confidence and standard of living, thus promoting gender equality. The digital revolution has given more voice to Indian Women and media can be viewed as a positve aspect of globalisation. 





Different non-profit organizations have been brought to India from around the globe. These organizations are imparting literacy and vocational skills to women. Political participation of women has increased. New avenues like media, fashion industry, sports etc have opened gates for women. In brief globalisation has made Indian Women more empowered with better opportunities in life.

However changes brought by globalisation have also impacted the Indian Women in a negative manner.Women are suffering enormously due to expansion of corporate empires. There is a huge disparity of wages among men and women in the private sector. While globalisation has brought jobs to rural India work available to women is mostly poorly paid, mentally and physically unhealthy, demeaning or insecure. 


As women move into the work force, their domestic responsiblities are not alleviated and their domestic work is neither accounted for not acknowledged. Women are preffered for semi-skilled jobs as they are easier to control and less likely to retaliate against less than ideal working conditions. Besides women are supposed to be fit only for specific industries like education, nursing, hospitality etc. which explains the prevalent " feminisation of work in India". Indian society has seen rise in the number of nuclear families. Increase in divorce rate and single parent families can be attributed to the western culture that globalisation has brought with it.




Globalisation has had both positive and negative effect on women in India but with globalisation there is  the wider scope to uproot the traditional barriers and to provide women a level palying field at par with men in society.
