In this report, we analyse the working conditions electronic
products are produced by factory workers in the Philippines. An analysis from a gender perspective, since most of the workers in these factories in the region are women.
The feminization of work in the manufacturing sector has been a global trend in recent decades. The report stresses that working women in electronics factories tend to have less access to education and fewer employment alternatives compared to men, due to the sexual division of labour and gender inequality. Many of them come from rural areas and see paid work in the factory as an
attractive option.
