Modeling the effects of trade on Women, at work and at home

Marzia Fontana and Adrian Wood

Foreign trade affects women's wages and jobs, their household work, and their leisure. This paper develops a model which covers not only all the sectors of the market economy, but also social reproduction and leisure activities, for women and men separately. The model, which in other respects is a standard computable general equilibrium model, is applied to a simplified set of data for Bangladesh. (DSE/DÜI)
