Womens Employment and Multinationals in Europe [Paperback]

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.List of Tables - Preface - Notes on the Contributors - Editors' Introduction: Nimble Fingers and Foreign Investments; D.Elson & R.Pearson - Women's Employment and Multinationals in the UK: Restructuring and Flexibility; R.Pearson - Women's Employment and Multinationals in the Republic of Ireland: The Creation of a New Female Labour Force; P.Jackson & U.Barry - Women's Employment and Multinationals in the Federal Republic of Germany: The Job-Export Question; S.Gensior & B.Scholer - The Cutting Edge: Multinationals in the EEC Textiles and Clothing Industry; D.Elson - Silicon Glen: Women and Semiconductor Multinationals; N.Goldstein - Production Relocation: An Electronics Multinational in France and Brazil; H.Hirata - Women's Response to Multinationals in County Mayo; L.Harris - Fighting Plant Closure: Women in the Strike at Videocolour; S.Aydin & I.Lenz - Fighting Plant Closure: Women in the Plessey Occupation; P.Findlay - Restructuring Women's Employment in British Petroleum; M.Davidson - Index
