Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Utah, 2008.

The purpose of this dissertation was to explore empirically the fundamental debates on the determinants of women's intrahousehold bargaining power. It specifically evaluated the effects of women's participation in Export Processing Zones (EPZs) on women's bargaining power by exploring how EPZ employment affects women's bargaining power vis-a-vis husbands and hired women workers by using Thailand's Northern Region Industrial Estate (NRIE) as a case study.

520 $a The purpose of this dissertation was to explore empirically the fundamental debates on the determinants of women's intrahousehold bargaining power. It specifically evaluated the effects of women's participation in Export Processing Zones (EPZs) on women's bargaining power by exploring how EPZ employment affects women's bargaining power vis-a-vis husbands and hired women workers by using Thailand's Northern Region Industrial Estate (NRIE) as a case study.
520 $a The empirical findings show that NRIE employment brings both negative and positive effects to women workers. NRIE work provides opportunities for women to be included in formal employment, which brings higher earning to NRIE women workers. As a result, the socially constructed "male breadwinner role" is a myth among NRIE women workers' households. But this is a tradeoff among more than the minimum wage income of the NRIE and longer hours of work. Therefore, NRIE employment decomposes women's subordination by increasing the economic contribution of women within their households.
520 $a However, the economic contribution of NRIE women workers does not radically increase NRIE women workers' intrahousehold bargaining power vis-a-vis their husbands. Household income keeping, control and management as well as household decision making and housework allocation do not tend towards a more egalitarian status. Moreover, NRIE women workers are subservient under an age hierarchy in households due to the strong influence of matrilineality and matrifocality. Consequently, NRIE employment also recomposes and intensifies women's subordination in households.
520 $a Women workers gain little from participating in NRIE work under a socioeconomic context that deteriorates the economic situation of other household members, particularly their husbands and parents. For this reason, the policy recommendations suggested in this study were derived from considering a qualitatively different development model which is not biased against the rural and agricultural sector. However, NRIE work should not be the only opportunity for women in the villages. In addition, more specific policies which directly help by increasing women's bargaining power within households should be considered.
520 $a The impacts on women who participate in NRIE work on women's intrahousehold bargaining power are based on both material and ideological factors. However, these material and ideological factors are also based on the macro dimension of the socioeconomic context, which women workers are positioned in as well as the micro dimension of household composition, characteristics, and life cycle.
