Restructuring of labor markets in the Philippines and Zambia: the gender dimension

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine the labor market changes arising from the process of structural adjustment and the resulting influence on women's economic participation in Zambia and the Philippines. The objective is to illustrate how gender permeates the functioning of labor markets and how economic reforms produce differential impacts on women and men through the use of their labor time. Results indicate that the economic restructuring undertaken by Zambia and the Philippines in the 1980s did not lead to significant changes in the configurations of the labor market such that gender equality would be promoted, hence the persistence of gender inequalities.
