Q9.Discuss the positive and negative effects of globalisation on women in India?

Globalization, characterized by increased interconnectedness in economies and societies, has profoundly impacted Indian women, presenting both significant opportunities and considerable challenges across various spheres of life.

• Opened new economic avenues in IT, BPO, and service sectors, fostering financial independence and improved access to education and information.
• Increased awareness of rights, challenging traditional barriers, and exposure to global feminist movements and progressive ideas.

• Led to exploitation in low-wage, informal sectors, job insecurity, widening income inequality, and increased consumerism/objectification.
• Imposed a 'double burden' of professional and domestic responsibilities, cultural erosion, and heightened vulnerability to trafficking.

The impact is highly varied, depending on socio-economic class, urban-rural divide, and education levels, demanding nuanced policy interventions for inclusive and equitable growth.
