Globalisation: It refers to the growing interdependence between different people, regions and countries in the world.
The effect of gobatisatton is far reaching. It affects us all but affects us differently. While for some it may mean new opportunities, for others it means the loss of livelihood.
For examples, Women silk spinners and twisters of Bihar lost their jobs once the Chinese and Korean silk yarn entered the market.
Similar displacements have come with the entry of large fishing vessels into Indian waters. These vessels take away the fish that used to be earlier collected by Indian fishing vessels. The livelihood of women fish sorters, dryers, vendors and net makers thereby gets affected.
In Gujarat, women gum collectors who were picking from the Julifera, lost their employment due to the import of cheaper gum from Sudan.
In almost all cities of India, the rag pickers lost part of their employment due to import of waste paper from developed countries. Some might be benefitted with globalisation while others are made to face losses.
