One effect of globalization on gender dynamics is the increase in employment for women, which is often exploitative of women in developing countries. The "feminization of labor" refers to the effects of globalization on women's work participation. Globalization has resulted in more flexible employment, which makes it easier for women with children to work, but with lower wages and deteriorating labor standards. While women have access to more jobs in the globalized economy, they are performing these jobs for lower pay in worse conditions than men in their countries, and without a decrease in their share of domestic and child-related responsibilities. Globalization has not solved other employment-related problems for women, including gendered segregation of occupation, the gender wage gap, and lack of job training. In many countries exploited for resources under globalization, including those in Latin America and East Asia, women are increasingly segregated to low-wage labor in the textile and garment industries.
