Summary:

This article analyses the relations between economic integration processes, employment and equality of opportunities between men and women. To this end, the case of Chile is considered, where simultaneous processes of internationalization of the economy, the pursuit of economic integration agreements and the growing incorporation of women into the labour force are taking place. The relation between integration agreements and the labour situation of women derives from three factors. Firstly, the new trade flows affect employment and wages, and there may be a differential effect by sex if the female labour force is concentrated in particular, sectors of production.
