Women in developing countries/ignoring women"s role in subsistence agriculture. Hossfeld: women in silicon valley assembly/ racial ethnic stratification in the factory. Globalization: general: globally women work in agriculture. Go to other country to get job if can"t get job in own country. What makes mexican workers maquiladoras desirable is that because they are exempt. Attract women large amount of migration. Subjected to violence: police from unionization, daily as well. *people will follow working and living wages. Silicon valley: not getting jobs back (in 80"s) Women will work for lss (certain jobs) Immigrants will work bad jobs for low pay. Best they could get/not qualified for anything else. Used to bad pay, why make them richer, good at being poor. What get here is better than at home (self serving) Americanas wont do this job (found not offered to americans, saved for immigrants) Asians better at assembly, value hard work. Coleman: a gendered approach to development (question on test)
