Gender inequality and multinational corporations

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Multinational corporations (MNCs) need to ensure greater commitment to employment codes of conduct among their manufacturing subcontractors. To address violations that particularly harm female workers, they should take measures to increase transparency for pay and promotion, introduce formal written employment contracts, ensure equal access to benefits, improve workplace facilities, provide designated communication channels and implement training to eliminate gender bias. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
