The primacy of financial costs is intensified by globalization. International trade, investment and migration are not new phenomena: what is new is the accelerating speed and scope of movements of real and financial capital. This acceleration is due to the removal of state controls on trade and investment and to the rapid development of new information and communications technologies.
Women have experienced globalization in a number of different ways. Globalization intensifies some of the existing inequalities and insecurities to which poor women are subject, but for educated, professional women, it opens up new opportunities. Globalization does not so much create a problem in the unpaid provision of care where none existed before, as change the form of the problem. Before globalization, there was a care deficit, but mainly a deficit in the care provided to women, who spent much time caring for other people, but had little time to care for themselves. With globalization, men and children may also begin to experience a care deficit, if the pressures of the double burden of paid and unpaid work becomes too much for women and men do not take on more of this work. Solutions will require re-balancing responsibilities between private, public, domestic and NGO sectors of the economy; better ways of managing the global economy; and changes on the part of men as well as of women.

Las mujeres han experimentado la globalización de varias formas distintas. La globalización intensifica algunas de las inequidades e inseguridades existentes a que son sometidas las mujeres pobres, pero para las mujeres educadas y profesionales, abre nuevas oportunidades. No es tanto que la globalización cree un problema en la prestación de cuidado no remunerado donde no existía ninguno antes, sino que cambia la forma del problema. Antes de la globalización, existía un déficit de cuidado, pero principalmente un déficit en el cuidado prestado a las mujeres, que empleaban mucho tiempo cuidando a otras personas, pero que tenían poco tiempo para ellas mismas. Con la globalización, los hombres y los niños pueden comenzar también a experimentar un déficit en el cuidado, si las presiones aparejadas por la doble carga de trabajo remunerado y no remunerado se vuelven demasiado pesadas para las mujeres, y los hombres no asumen una mayor parte de este trabajo Las soluciones exigirán reequilibrar las responsabilidades entre los sectores privado, público, doméstico y de las ONG de la economía; mejores modos de gestionar la economía global; y cambios por parte de los hombres así como de las mujeres.
