Globalization is an emerging trend in modern society. It has greatly affected every sphere of life all around the world. The present study concentrated to analyze the socio-economic effects of globalization on the working women in India. Its current wave has widely improved the lives of women worldwide, particularly the lives of those women working in the developing countries. But in spite of that women remain disadvantaged in many areas of life, including education, employment, health, and civil rights. Mostly women are working as unskilled labour. The major objective of this review paper is to find out the true impact of globalization on women’s socio-economic position and their participation in different economic activities.
