Economic globalization, characterized by the integration of national economies into a global network through trade, investment, technology, and labor mobility, has had multifaceted impacts on women in the industrial and service sectors. While globalization has created significant opportunities for women, it has also exposed them to vulnerabilities and inequalities, reflecting both the promises and pitfalls of an interconnected global economy. The effects on women are sector-specific, manifesting differently in industrial and service sectors, influenced by socio-economic contexts, labor policies, and cultural norms. In the industrial sector, economic globalization has expanded employment opportunities for women, particularly in manufacturing industries such as textiles, electronics, and garments, especially in developing countries. For instance, countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, and India have witnessed a surge in female labor participation in export-oriented manufacturing industries. Women are often preferred for these jobs due to perceptions of dexterity, patience, and compliance, particularly in labor-intensive production lines. This preference has enabled women to gain financial independence and contribute significantly to household incomes, improving their economic agency. In Bangladesh, for example, women constitute a large portion of the workforce in the ready-made garment sector, with over 80% of the labor force in this sector being female. This participation has empowered women to access education for their children, invest in health, and engage in decision-making within their households. However, these opportunities are often accompanied by challenges that disproportionately affect women. Globalization-driven industrial employment often subjects women to precarious work conditions, low wages, and long working hours. The demand for competitive pricing and efficiency in global supply chains has led to intense pressure on women workers, frequently resulting in exploitation and limited labor rights. The 2013 Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh, which caused the death of over 1,100 garment workers, most of whom were women, highlighted the vulnerabilities faced by women in export-oriented industries. Women in such sectors often lack union representation, legal protections, or social security, leaving them exposed to both occupational hazards and economic insecurity. Additionally, cultural norms in many regions restrict women’s mobility or employment
