Countries, companies, and individuals are struggling not be first in the ârace to the bottomâ as space and time shrink and borders disappear. The information age is rapidly transforming the industrial era, which has in turn displaced the agricultural economy. As these changes occur, policy makers in the Arab region have little information about the impact on people â and almost none about the implications for Arab women. The first CAWTAR Arab Women's Development Report 2001 has been designed to address this glaring gap. It provides solid analysis and recommendations, in addition to 100 tables and graphs containing crucial data for anyone seeking to understand the overall phenomenon of globalization and its gender dimensions in particular. The report was put together by a team of experts who worked for nearly 18 months to collect the data and to analyze them. It is the first one in a series of reports on Arab women's development that CAWTAR intends to produce annually. Each report will address one neglected dimension of development.
