Effects Of Globalisation And Social Justice

Globalisation is a term which encompasses so many concerns. When the idea of globalisation comes in it brings along the fear in minds of people that social justice is going to be compromised i.e cost of globalisation will exceed the benefits obtained from it. Pranab Bardhan in his article has raised this concern that globalisation cannot be seen to usurp the idea of social justice completely. It is only through well crafted policies that globalisation and social justice can go hand in hand. So it is not just to take one side alone that globalisation is good or bad.

Globalisation as an instrument of growth:
A lot of clamour

When we have adopted the policy of globalisation it is true that it opens up opportunities for some people and may cause hardships to those whose livelihood are ruined by competition. But the redistribution policies are basically domestic in origin and its failure is much attributed to social and political institutions of the country. But as we have discussed earlier that globalisation has resulted in increase of inequality among countries and though absolute poverty has reduced but still relative poverty has

So by improving the wages and productivity of adult workers so that they do not have to send their children for labour seems to be quite theoretical. I mean what we can think of in terms of improvement of wages in a country where those spending over RS.32 a day in rural areas and Rs.47 in urban areas are not even considered poor!!!! And still we have 363 million population below poverty line!!! Rather than thinking of part time hours for child work I would prefer that they should be trained in school itself. In that way they can make schooling interesting and also avoid the chances of exploitation of children outside. For example there are small craft works like candle making etc. children can be divided on the basis of their interest and as a part of curriculum they can be imparted such skills and it should be ensured that their outcome is rewarded by the State by channelizing those products into market. However such experiments need close monitoring which has to be taken care of only by
