Gender as a vehicle for the subordination of women maquiladora workers in Mexico.

KOPINAK, Kathryn

Gender as a vehicle for the subordination of women maquiladora workers in Mexico. - 1995

Shows that labour market dynamics among the maquila industries tend to trap women in the least-skilled jobs. Although the maquila sector was once celebrated for employing women, women's employment has gradually declined, and most female employees face discrimination in areas such as job training.
