7. MEN IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD
Men in the East end of London have reduced access to secondary
jobs in car manufacturing that their fathers did
In the UK, fewer full time jobs in secondary industries, and more
part time tertiary jobs than 50 years ago

8. MEN IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD
Many men in developing

consistent in factories
compared to farming
which can be affected by
the weather
Women and men in the developing world
have access to urban secondary and
tertiary jobs
Many men in developing countries

9. WOMEN IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD
Women are more equal in
the jobs market
Women in the UK have increased job
opportunities in flexible, part time
employment especially in retail sector.
As male dominated
employment of the past
(mainly secondary) has
declined, this has led to
increased pressure on
women in the developed
world to have jobs

10. WOMEN IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD
Women in developed
countries have increased
access to flexible work
compared to 50 years ago
when more jobs were
labour intensive- so now
women are more equal

developing world have
increased access to
education
There are more jobs
available in
developing countries,
especially in
manufacturing and
increasingly in
tertiary too
Women and men
in the developing
world have
access to urban
secondary and
tertiary jobs
Many women in countries
like Bangladesh work in
‘sweatshops’ for TNCs,
stitching clothes for
minimal pay, in tough
conditions with limited or
no breaks
