30/01/2020

Alyssa Schneebaum was awarded the "WU researcher of the Month Award" in January 2020. T9ogether with Carolina Lennon she conducted a study on the effects of globalisation on the shares of female and male employees in companies.

The two researchers were able to show that internationally operating companies hired more women than only nationally active ones. Moreover there seems to happen a transmission of social norms when exporting to countries with higher gender equality. However, top-jobs are still even in those countries mostly occupied by men.

Alysa Schneebaum will tell you more about the project in this video. There you can also download the report.
