Critical analysis of Globalization’s Effect on Women’s Empowerment in Bangladesh

This study aims to investigate globalization's positive and negative effects on women’s empowerment in Bangladesh. The study uses the Global Gender Gap Index to measure women’s empowerment and the KOF index to measure globalization. Using quantitative analysis, the study demonstrates four Scatterplots to estimate the correlation between globalization and women’s empowerment in Bangladesh with data (2006-2020). The four Scatterplots show the positive relationship between globalization and women’s empowerment. However, Bangladesh is not free from the negative effects of globalization. While globalization has brought women into the marketplace, increasing their labor force participation, and affording them greater opportunities and choices, it has also made them vulnerable to fluctuations in the global marketplace.
