This paper reviews the evidence of gender effects of globalization in developing economies. It then outlines a set of macroeconomic and trade policies to promote gender equity in the distribution of resources. The evidence suggests that while liberalization has expanded women's access to employment, the long-term goal of transforming gender inequalities remains unmet and appears unattainable without regulation of capital, and a reorientation and expansion of the state's role in funding public goods and providing s a social safety net. This paper sets forth some general principles that can produce greater gender equality, premised on shifting economies from profit-led, export-oriented to wage-led, full-employment economies. The framework is Kaleckian in its focus on the relationship between the gender distribution of income and macroeconomic outcomes.

In particular, MNCs may prevent a host country from adopting strategic industrial policies for increasing national competitiveness such as restrictions on foreign ownership and local content requirements (Chang 1998).…”

“…Unfortunately, the two objectives may be in direct conflict with the MNCs' own long-term objectives (Panić 1998). For example, a multinational corporation may decide that opportunities in the host country are no longer as lucrative as in other countries, and therefore extract earnings from the host country for investment in alternative markets.…”

“…For example, a multinational corporation may decide that opportunities in the host country are no longer as lucrative as in other countries, and therefore extract earnings from the host country for investment in alternative markets. Hence, the level of investment and savings in the current host country may actually decline (Panić 1998).…”
