While the number of EPZs including several variants such as Special Economic Zone (SEZs) has increased continuously, general interest in EPZs has declined over the years in contrast to earlier heated debates regarding the efficacy of the strategy and its welfare effects especially on women workers. This article re-evaluates the historical trajectories and outstanding labour and gender issues of EPZs on the basis of the experiences of South Korea, Bangladesh and India. The findings suggest the necessity of enlarging our analytical scope with regard to EPZs, which are inextricably connected with external employment structures, whether outside the EPZ but within the same country, or outside the EPZ and its host country altogether. technical report Institute of Developing Economies　(IDE-JETRO) 2008-10-01 VoR application/pdf IDE Discussion Paper 174 IDE Discussion Paper https://ir.ide.go.jp/record/37993/files/IDP000174_001.pdf https://doi.org/10.20561/00037988 http://hdl.handle.net/2344/793 https://ir.ide.go.jp/records/37993 jpn アジア 韓国 バングラデシュ インド Copyrights 日本貿易振興機構（ジェトロ）アジア経済研究所 / Institute of Developing Economies, Japan External Trade Organization (IDE-JETRO) http://www.ide.go.jp
