Globalization continues to reshape economies, societies, and the environment in profound ways, influencing everything from trade and labor markets to climate policy and social justice. While it has facilitated unprecedented economic growth and innovation, its effects on sustainability and equity remain complex and contested. As the world grapples with the challenges of environmental degradation, income inequality, and shifting geopolitical dynamics, the need for a deeper understanding of globalization’s role in shaping a fairer future has never been more pressing.

Covering topics such as gender wage discrimination, financial inclusion, climate-induced migration, and the circular economy, this work provides critical insights into harnessing globalization for sustainable and equitable progress.

Offering an invaluable resource for scholars, policymakers, and students, this volume serves as a vital tool for understanding and addressing the complex interactions between globalization and social dividends.
