MacDonald M. 2002. Gender, Globalization and Fisheries Workers and Communities. International Workshop on Globalization, Gender and the Fisheries, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada, 5-12 May 2000. 16p.

This paper discusses the impact of globalization and the expansion of world wide markets on fisheries. Technological change and the international search for new markets has paved the way to cheap labour. In this context, it examines the gender dimensions of globalization and how it affects the communities dependent on fisheries. It also puts forth some of the general challenges faced by fisherpeople because of this and strategies for future action.
