This paper discusses the findings of intensive interviews with a small sample of single and married women workers in the electronics industry in Singapore. The monotonous, repetitive nature of the tasks discourages women's commitment to their jobs. Further, the fluctuating nature of employment presents the workers with a high degree of economic insecurity. All the working women regularly contribute part of their income to their families. Subjectively, they realize that the roles of women are rapidly changing and that a woman's place is not solely in the home. Nevertheless, changes in the economic roles of women have not brought about commensurate changes in familial roles, particularly for married women. In this paper, the social impact of the trans national corporation (TNC) is also examined.
