Multinationals have global reach in their search for profits; women, even more than men, are confined to their immediate community in their search for jobs. This book examines the interaction between multinationals and women in UK, Ireland, France and Germany, looking at inward investment by US and Japanese multinationals, as well as outward investment by European multinationals.

This book examines the interaction between multinationals and women in UK, Ireland, France and Germany, looking at inward investment by US and Japanese multinationals, as well as outward investment by European multinationals. It attempts to show how multinationals perpetuate an unequal division of labour by gender in which women production workers are merely "nimble fingers". It discusses whether multinationals are exporting women's jobs from Europe in an international search for cheap labour; and it looks at how women have reacted to both the creation and destruction of employment by multinationals.

Gender and development theory and analysis is replete with implicit assumptions that women's entry into the world of paid work will positively affect their status both in the household and in the public sphere. Until recently the debate on global factories and export production has remained focused on women's individual experience of export employment and the extent to which this represents a positive opportunity or gross exploitation. In spite of the extended discussion of rights and citizenship in the global economy, little attention has hitherto been paid to the implications for women's entitlements arising out of their pivotal role in export sectors. Whilst many assume that women's visible and crucial presence in key economic sectors will be reflected in the ways in which social policies are formulated, there has been up to now little empirical and analytical engagement with this question. This volume, bringing together detailed commissioned studies from six developing countries, aims to fill this gap.VIVIANE BRACHET-MARQUEZ Centro des Estudios Sociol-logicos, El Colegio de Mexico, Mexico SHEILA BUNWAREE Department of Sociology, University of Mauritius, Mauritius HYOUNG CHO Department of Sociology, Ewha Womans University, Sudaemun-gu, Seoul, Korea JINJOO CHUNG Institute for Occupational and Environmental Health, Kuri, Kyunggido, Korea DELIA DARVIN Head of Department, Department of East Asian Studies, University of Leeds, UK JAYATI GHOSH Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India GILLIAN HART Department of Geography, Chair, Center for African Studies, University of California at Berkeley, San Francisco, USA IN-SOON KANG Division of Social Science, University of Kyungnam, Masan-City, Kyungsangnamdo, Korea ORLANDINA DE OLIVEIRA Centro des Estudios Sociol-logicos, El Colegio de Mexico, Mexico ANN ZAMMIT Independent Consultant, Geneva, Switzerland
