The paper looks at the female employment of domestic firms that are directly and indirectly related to foreign direct investment firms through supply chain linkages. These domestic firms are either the local suppliers or customers of foreign direct investment firms, or they share local suppliers and customers with foreign direct investment firms. The estimates show that domestic firms related to foreign direct investment firms have significantly more female administrative workers, but not necessarily female non-administrative workers, due to the former participating in more firm-to-firm interactions. 2020-07-30T16:13:58Z 2020-07-30T16:13:58Z 2020-07 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/932161595873019233/Gender-Empowerment-Supply-Chain-Linkages-and-Foreign-Direct-Investment-Evidence-on-Bangladesh http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34258 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 9340 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper South Asia Bangladesh
