Globalizing Development
Section 1
b. What is the “world factory” and the “world farm”. How do they shape global economy and inequalities?
Ans. World factory is known as the factory that makes products for the whole world. The products are delivered to almost all the places in the world. China is known as the world’s factory. All famous electronic and other brands are manufactured in China. China has evolved the business ecosystem quite a lot. From 1979 to 2017 their real gross domestic product grew at an average yearly rate of 10%. According to the World Bank, China has faced the fastest sustained expansion by a major economy in history. They have lifted more than 800 million people from poverty. With the help of the government, because their government owns three big energy companies, China charged its highest growth. Over time, China’s economy is slowing because of the trade war with the U.S. This results in inequality in the market. The major inequality is the distribution of low income. Urban areas experienced rapid growth of income than workers in rural areas.
World farm is a farm that has the highest agricultural rate in the world. World farm-oriented agriculture and food production. It includes Dairy, crops, animal breeding, poultry etc. Its development is one of the powerful tools to end poverty and lift shared prosperity. China is rich in animal and plant resources. China’s total import and export trading revenue of agricultural products was 121.96 billion USD which was increased by the time. According to the American census, China made up 5.9billion dollars in U.S farm product export. The rapid productivity growth in China helped them in creating the highest economy. Economic transition results in income inequality. The different patterns of economic transition and uneven progress in provinces resulted into inequality. Unequal opportunities for the job among rural and urban people is another reason for inequality in the farming sector.

Both your textbook and the readings on Backboard discuss the “gendering of global labor force”. Explain the gendering of the labor force in global factories, as well as the new forms of childcare based on migrant workers.
Ans. Ethnographers of Globalization finds out how gender overlaps with other sources of exploitation and discrimination in the lives of working men and women. Gender hierarchies are created and correlated worldwide on transnational cycles of capital accumulation and labor mobilization. Global factories reproduce similar organizational models where women get the lowest pay and authority levels, while men get the positions of supervisory and leadership positions. The promotion of capitalist production regimes by the Chinese state has initiated new gender-based work practices that include the massive recruitment of women in urban areas. The global factories focus on large pools of cheap interchangeable workers to perform tasks that are usually separated by gender. The Gender-specific standards differ in a way that illustrates their arbitrary quality: identical tasks are defined as "male work" in one place and "women work" in another place. Many women and men who provide cross-border services are globally bent due to the desire for class consumption and mobility.
The childcare itself is increasingly tied in global economic cycles; new forms of employment require parents to think effective childcare arrangements, especially the domestic workers of global migration. Many women are forced a constant juggling act to reconcile their children's need for care with their own need of work along with family needs. Overcoming these obstacles requires a cross-sectorial approach. Such an approach must be tailored to the specific needs of migrant families. Government is trying to promote socio-economic development in rural areas to reduce migration. The Migrant Childcare Program aims to ensure that all children learn in a safe environment offered by first-class childcare workers.
