17、 technological progress. It refers to the increasing integration of economies around the world, particularly through trade and financial flows.

18、olitical and environmental dimensions of globalization that are not covered here.At its most basic, there is nothing mysterious about globalization.

19、ransactionsboth trade and financial flows.

Markets promote efficiency through competition and

20、 the division of labor-the specialization that allows people and economies to focus on what they do best. Global markets offer greater opportunity for people to tap into more and larger markets around the world. It means that they can have access to more capital flows, technology, cheaper imports, a

21、nd larger export markets. But markets do not necessarily ensure that the benefits of increased efficiency are shared by all.

More than 9

26、0 percent of job shares are women, and most of them have childcare responsibilities. The industries keenest on job shares include banking and finance, IT and public services.
