Left behind by Globalization: Why Christians Care About Educating Women

  • Rebecca A. Havens

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to outline empirical research finding globalization to have a negative effect on the economic status of American women, place this in the context of economic research on globalization, and to discuss the policy implications from a Christian perspective — in particular, why Christian faculty should have a special concern about these trends. This research is currently relevant to the American debate on globalization and provides evidence to answer the question in the context of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory of international trade’s impact on the distribution of incomes within a trading country, which asks whose incomes are hurt by trade.
