Abstract
The
effects
of
globalization
are
spreading
rapidly
throughout
Africa
.
Despite
the
fact
that
globalization
holds
many
promises
for
economic
advancement
there
is
increasing
apprehension
about
its
impact
on the
wellbeing
of
Africans
. To
date
,
only
a
few
studies
have been
conducted
to
evaluate
its
impact
on the
different
aspects
of the
lives
of
Africans
. As a
result
, there
is
a
need
for
more
in-depth
research
on the
impact
of
globalization
in
Africa
.
Findings
from
such
studies
will
provide
needed
information
about
the
exact
effects
of
globalization
on
Africa
and how
Africa
has
fared
in the
new
global
order
. The
present
study
examined
the
economic
impact
of
globalization
on
Ghanaian
women
.
Using
data
collected
from the
National
Health
and
Demographic
Survey
, this
study
examined
if there have been
changes
in the
economic
roles
and
characteristics
of
women
in
Ghana
over
a
period
of
five
years
;
1998-2003
.
Further
survey
of
Ghanaians
in
Connecticut
was
conducted
to
solicit
information
on their
views
of
globalization
on
Ghanaian
women
.
Findings
from the
analyses
and the
literature
review
were
compared
.
Results
suggested
a
trend
towards
observations
made
in the
literature
about
the
impact
of
globalization
on
African
women
.
Based
on the
findings
,
it
can
be
concluded
that
globalization
is
having
an
impact
on the
economic
roles
of
Ghanaian
women
. The
results
revealed
that
globalization
has had a
mixed
impact
on the
economic
roles
of
Ghanaian
women
.
Implications
of these
findings
are
discussed
.
