Gender Justice in Trade Policy: The gender effects of Economic Partnership Agreements - Synthesis Report
Gender inequalities and trade interact. Trade reforms are likely to have gender differentiated effects because of women’s and men’s different access to, and control over resources, and because of their different roles in both the market economy and the household. In turn, gender inequality may limit the gains from trade, through its impact on the process of innovation, for instance.
Policy should be designed to enhance genderequalising trends associated with trade, such as when export expansion leads to the increased visibility of women’s work through their greater participation in the paid economy, as well as to offset any negative consequences of trade such as widening overall inequalities or losses for specific groups of women and men. This requires that the gendered characteristics of the economy are made visible and that genderdifferentiated effects of particular trade agreements are fully understood.
