Any economic changes that affect African women invariably affect African countries. As many African countries continue to struggle in the new world economic order, the need to maximize women’s contribution in economic development is pertinent. The United Nations Economic Commission on Africa (UNECA) stated in 1975 that if women, who serve as important agents in the economic sector in African countries, are given a fair share of opportunities and resources, development in communities will be attained at a faster rate (UNECA, 1975). Currently, African women constitute 70-80% of the agricultural labor force in the continent (Palacios-Lopez, Christiaensen, & Kilic , 2017). African women are the backbone of the economies of many African countries. In many countries, the forces of globalization have been credited for facilitating the increase in the number of women employed in wage work both in the formal and informal sectors. It has brought about dynamic changes in the social, economic and political systems of several countries and promises unprecedented opportunities for growth and development (Geo-Jaja &Yang, 2003). Globalization can be defined as a process characterized by increasing interconnectedness across the globe. (Ibrahim, 2013 Irani & Noruzi, 2011 Shizha & Diallo, 2015). It is very powerful and is believed to stimulate economic growth through the flow of trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), capital and technology (Verick, 2007). Although the major forces of globalization are economic, globalization has different dimensions including political, social, cultural and economic ones these dimensions collectively make globalization a complex process with numerous implications.
