Abstract: The purpose of the thesis has been to present the student and readers with a significant understanding in the direct selling industry. A vast of Filipino women gained enough desire to get involved in this industry because of the relatively high income while at home, in a flexible working time and independence from the employer-employee relations. The multinational corporations’ claim of empowering the women is a bourgeois interpretation of women’s emancipation.

This study focuses on the real situation of Filipino women lured to become a dealer of the direct selling business while capitalists’ profit at their expense.
