“…Alongside these overall trends, however, CMT theorists find that the effects of economic development, which globalization spurs, on a country's level of gender equality vary greatly across nations. They attribute this variation to countries' distinct cultural legacies, and their persistent impact on cultural values and social institutions (e.g., Inglehart and Welzel, 2005;Potrafke, 2015;Steel and Kabashima, 2008).…”

An extensive literature shows that economic globalization has a positive effect on gender equality. However, the effect varies greatly across countries and time. This article argues that social globalization -individuals' exposure to external ideas, people, and information flows -and the changes in values associated with it -is a key boundary condition for the effect of economic globalization on women's rights. While economic globalization opens up new opportunities for women, policy adaptation to these changes requires a social demand for efforts for change. Social globalization contributes to policy adaptation by exposing the public to alternative gender-role models, setting off a shift in values, which underlies support for gender equality. Results emerging from a time-series-cross-sectional analysis of 152 nations for the period 1990-2003 confirm that the positive effect of economic globalization on gender equality wanes at lower levels of social globalization. Further, multilevel-path-analyses models demonstrate how changes to individual-level values mediate the effect of globalization on individuals' support for gender equality.

“…Apesar da associação significativa entre transformações socioeconômicas e modificações no sistema de valores sociais visível nesses estudos, a maioria deles, por outro lado, enfatiza que: 1) a alteração do sistema de valores é path dependent, isto é, o contexto (cultural, histórico, econômico, social, político) prévio influencia a natureza e a velocidade da transformação ocorrida (INGLEHART e NORRIS, 2005;STEEL e KABASHIMA, 2008); 2) pode haver diferenças consideráveis no plano subnacional em qualquer uma das sociedades em mutação (ADAMS e ORLOFF, 2005); e 3) a mudança no sistema valorativo de uma sociedade ocorre de maneira gradual e, de forma alguma, envolve a rápida substituição de um conjunto de valores por outro (INGLEHART e WETZEL, 2005).…”

De acordo com alguns autores, o processo de modernização, além de provocar alterações sociais estruturais (como industrialização e urbanização e todos os seus efeitos correlatos), também concorre para a modificação do sistema de valores e atitudes tradicionais na direção da emergência de valores ditos modernos - ou seja, seculares e de auto-expressão. Dentre os últimos inclui-se a aceitação do princípio da igualdade de gênero. O objetivo deste artigo é verificar, mediante a análise do survey LAPOP-Brasil 2007, em que medida os cidadãos brasileiros - parte de uma sociedade moderna, porém de redemocratização recente - mostram-se favoráveis à participação eqüitativa da mulher na arena política formal. Os dados demonstram que, embora a maioria no Brasil seja, em tese, favorável, à participação eqüitativa da mulher na política, a rejeição do princípio da igualdade de gênero, quando ocorre, associa-se com valores e atitudes de conservadorismo moral e social e também de baixo apoio ao regime democrático, o que indica a permanência de bolsões de atitudes e valores tradicionais, conservadores e autoritários no interior da sociedade brasileira.
According to some authors, the modernization process, besides bringing about major changes in the social structure (such as industrialization, urbanization and all its related effects), also fosters changes in the system of traditional values and attitudes in the direction of emergence of the so-called modern values - secular and self-expression values. Among the latter, one would include the acceptance of the principle of gender equality. The goal of this article is to verify, through the analysis of the LAPOP-Brazil 2007 survey, the degree to which Brazilian citizens - part of a modern but recently democratized society - are favorable to the equitable participation of women in the formal political arena. The data show that, even though the majority in Brazil theoretically accepts the participation of women in politics, the rejection of the principle of gender equality, when occurs, is associated with social and moral conservative values and attitudes and with low support for democracy - which indicates that pockets of traditional, conservative and authoritarian values still predominates in the Brazilian society

“…Globally pervasive cultural norms have placed the majority of the responsibility for unpaid household labor on women (Steel and Kabashima 2008;UN Women n.d.). As a result, there is a direct linkage between gender-based wage inequality and expectations of women in household activities and child-rearing responsibilities.…”

Gender Roles, Cultural Norms, and Role of Income in Perceived Value: Women and Unpaid Work

Women and unpaid work are specifically combined given the gender issues that have dominated women's roles across economies. Unpaid work reflects the lack of market value on women's domestic activities but specifically highlights that the efforts remain "work" that is not acknowledged by monetizable factors in the present economic system. The acceptance of women's gender-based and nonmarket valued work as "work" creates the opportunity establish value by the acknowledgment, itself, but also provides the opportunity to assess the holistic qualitative impact of women's contributions within intertemporal market value (e.g., impact of children on economic system).
