Unless you're a world traveler, emerging markets, such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China, are usually topics for the International section of the newspaper or evening news. Whether it's the economy in Greece affecting our financial markets or problems with Chinese sheet rock affecting the construction of a mother-in-law's apartment over the garage, there's often global impact from international business.
One researcher is targeting the state of women as employees in these countries. As business increases, either from US companies moving in or international companies growing, the role of women is changing. Hewlett is a Columbia University professor and founding president of the Center for Work-LIfe Policy in New York. The report will be out in June, but she wrote a summary for the May issue of the Harvard Business Review.
Women in Developing Countries -- Minds Are Developed, Jobs Are Getting There
Hewlett found that despite the fact that more than half of college graduates in these countries are women, they are being neglected when it comes to recruiting and training for jobs.
Among her findings:
- More than 80% of women in India want to hold a top job (it's 40% in the US).
- 55% of college degrees are going to women in emerging markets (it's 58% in the US).
- Women in emerging markets might be more ambitious than in developed nations because they have fewer children and childcare issues (China has a One Child policy and often extended families help with childcare).
