World Trade Organization (WTO) has been under immerse pressures to tackle increasing tensions due to unequal terms of trade as a result of incongruent labor standards between developing and developed countries. Because women tend to congregate in certain occupations, industries, and work spheres, they exhibit distinct patterns of geographic mobility and interaction with multinational firms, which signals causes of concerns over downward working conditions worldwide. This paper applies the theory of New Home Economics to illustrate how globalization extends household sexual division of labor into international sexual division of labor and transnational household sexual division of labor. The illustration suggests proper evaluation of women's work an essential task in monitoring and improving labor standards. This paper argues that regional trade organizations may have an advantage over WTO in addressing labor standards in the short to medium run through building cooperation on education, training, and gender statistics. Development of gender integration in Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and economic integration between China and Taiwan are examined to demonstrate such point. |
