WHO ARE THE WTO?

There are a number of ways of looking at the World Trade Organization. 1. It is an organization for trade opening. 2. It is a forum for governments to negotiate trade agreements. 3. It is a place for them to settle trade disputes. 4. It operates a system of trade rules. 5. Essentially, the WTO is a place where member governments

try to sort out the trade problems they face with each other.

In your own words write down what the WTO is.

Has meant thousands of women in Kenya have access to land which previously they did not under Kenyan law

Women in the developing world have increased access to education

Men in the East end of London have reduced access to secondary jobs in car manufacturing that their fathers did

Women in the UK have increased job opportunities in flexible, part time employment especially

Women and men in the developing world have access to urban (city) secondary and tertiary jobs

Many women in countries like Bangladesh work in ‘sweatshops’ for TNCs, stitching clothes for low pay, in tough conditions with limited or no breaks

There are more jobs available in developing countries, especially in manufacturing and increasingly in tertiary too

Many men in developing countries have to leave their rural homes and children with elderly relatives in countries like China, to work in factories

Many men in developing nations feel work is better paid and regular in factories compared to farming which can be affected by the weather

Women in developed countries have more access to work compared to 50 years ago when more jobs were labour intensive- so now women are more equal

TaskSort these statements into following groups and draw them into a table1) Globalisations impact on men in the developed

world2) Globalisations impact on women in the developed

world3) Globalisations impact on men in the developing

world4) Globalisations impact on women in the

developing world

In the UK, fewer full time jobs in secondary industries, and more part time tertiary jobs than 50 years ago

MEN IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD

Men in the East end of London have reduced access to secondary jobs in car manufacturing that their fathers did

In the UK, fewer full time jobs in secondary industries, and more part time tertiary jobs than 50 years ago

MEN IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD

Many men in developing nations feel work is better paid and more consistent in factories compared to farming which can be affected by the weather

Many men in developing countries have to leave their rural homes and children with elderly relatives in countries like China, to work in factories

There are more jobs available in developing countries, especially in manufacturing and increasingly in tertiary too

Women and men in the developing world have access to urban secondary and tertiary jobs

WOMEN IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD

Women are more equal in the jobs market

Women in the UK have increased job opportunities in flexible, part time employment especially in retail sector.

As male dominated employment of the past (mainly secondary) has declined, this has led to increased pressure on women in the developed world to have jobs

WOMEN IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD

Women in developed countries have increased access to flexible work compared to 50 years ago when more jobs were labour intensive- so now women are more equal

There are more jobs available in developing countries, especially in manufacturing and increasingly in tertiary too

Women and men in the developing world have access to urban secondary and tertiary jobs

Women in the developing world have increased access to education

Many women in countries like Bangladesh work in ‘sweatshops’ for TNCs, stitching clothes for minimal pay, in tough conditions with limited or no breaks
