Economic globalization has affected many women across the world. Jamaican women, in particular, have had to put a hold on their personal strengths to be able to make a living out their jobs and help maintain their families as well.

The author mentions how Jamaican women's labor work was described as cheap. This argument led me to believe that women from the Caribbean are not being respected for their labor work. Not only are they being paid unfairly they don't care if these women have families to feed. I think that these owners feel that women are working for to make money for themselves; not knowing that many of these women may have children without father's or any financial support that women have to sacrifice themselves to become the breadwinners without being recognized for it.
It's easier for corporations to pay them at minimal wage knowing that they don't have the strength to fight because they grow fear in them. I believe they are aware that they can threaten women with losing their jobs and tell them that they won't get any other jobs because everywhere else is all masculine work. It becomes a rather "TAKE IT OR LEAVE" situations, and of course for the sake of their families they choose to forgo with it. Jamaican women should be valued for their work the fact that the economy gets in debt is upsetting because those who are affected are these hard-working women.

In the article below, I was able to read that in today's time women the effect on women labor has decreased. They are exposed to much more labor opportunities like India. "Male" jobs are not male-dominated anymore like it was. Women have opportunities to work in fields they were once incapable of being able too, and not only older women but younger women as well. Which has given a greater chance of women actually becoming the breadwinners rather than looked as an object who is capable of "women like abilities".

If the U.S was going through the same problems how would women be affected?
