| Title | Women Workers in Textile and Footwear Industry in Albania after the 1990s: Hardships and Possibilities |
| Summary | This research aims at analyzing the experiences of women workers in textile and footwear industry in Albania after the 1990s. Particularly it elaborates on how women feel about working in these export-oriented factories, what are the hardships and the possibilities posed to them by their work and what are some of the specifities of shop floor work in the post-state socialist context of Albania. It argues that the women’s perceptions about factory work are ambiguous. On the one side they see it as a good opportunity for their lives in economic and social terms; on the other side they feel frustrated about the hard working conditions that characterize this job. |
