“…As female workers perform better, FDI spillover positively impacts domestic companies. This theory aligns with the diffusion theory of gender equality demonstrated in past studies, such as Bloom et al (2017) and Roggeband et al (2014). Although trade may put female workers at a disadvantage, FDI tends to benefit them.…”

This study investigates the impact of gender diversity on firm productivity following foreign direct investment (FDI) spillover. Using Indonesian firm‐level datasets from 2011 to 2015, we employ gender spillovers to assess women's distinct contributions to labor spillovers, often manifested through their impacts on productivity, knowledge sharing, and innovation. A fixed‐effects estimator using Driscoll and Kraay's standard errors was employed to deal with cross‐sectional dependence. We first examined the intra‐industry spillover effects of FDI, followed by spatial spillovers, to evaluate the influence of one province's productivity changes on neighboring provinces. Our findings reveal significant gender‐driven FDI spillovers in the spatial dimension but not within the sector. The consistent results across subsamples (impacts on domestic firms, Java‐non‐Java Island, feminization degree, and industrial technology intensity) align with theoretical studies that emphasize the influence of geographical proximity on FDI spillovers. No significant intra‐industry spillover effects were observed. Further exploration of informal channels, possibly mediating spillover effectiveness, is recommended to provide insights into the observed sectoral dynamics.

“…Researchers Yu and Lee (2013) found that mothers who had jobs outside the house were more likely to consider themselves to be feminists. This gives validity to the findings of a research done by Ben-Nun Bloom, Gilad, and Freedman (2017), which indicated that participants' perceptions regarding gender equality were impacted by being exposed to female role models and women in the workplace. According to the findings, there is a correlation between having a feminist viewpoint and being raised by a mother who had a job when they were growing up.…”

This study examines how age, education, gender, and mother's employment position affect feminist ideals, gender equality in political leadership, gender stereotypes, and women's political engagement. Higher education levels indicate stronger feminist views, indicating that education shapes feminist beliefs. Working mothers are more likely to support feminist principles than housewives. Moreover, the findings revealed that women are more likely than males to oppose gender conventions and pursue gender balance in political leadership and institutions. However, relationships may not always be statistically significant, therefore further study is needed to understand the reasons and frequency of these attitudes across both genders. This study illuminates feminist attitudes' complexity, impacted by education, gender, and the mother's job position. The findings highlight the need for further research into the relationship between gender norms, cultural expectations, and feminist ideas, as well as the potential influence of political motivations on individuals' engagement with feminist concepts.

“…Statistically significant interaction terms in the regressions are illustrated in a graph as slopes of the dependent variable on the independent variable when the moderator variable, here democracy stock, is held constant at different combinations of values from very low to very high. This approach has also been utilised in Ben-Nun Bloom et al (2017).…”

“…Cho (2013) concluded that social globalisation positively affects women’s economic and social rights, whereas economic globalisation does not show any effect on the same issues. Ben-Nun Bloom et al (2017) argues that while the effect of economic globalisation on gender equality varies greatly across time and space, there is a need to consider the other dimensions of globalisation. They found that social globalisation – individual’s exposure to external ideas, people and information – moderates the effect of economic globalisation on women’s rights.…”

Social globalisation and quality of democracy: An analysis for old and young democracies

The literature on globalisation and democracy has primarily paid attention to economic integration and its effects on democracies. Systematic empirical evidence on the effects of social globalisation on democracy is absent. This article intends to fill this gap. Social globalisation is disaggregated into interpersonal, information and cultural globalisation. I apply the generalised method of moments estimation and analyse democracies encompassing the periods 1970–1991 and 1991–2017. The results indicate that the democratic qualities affected by social globalisation are freedom of expression, equal access and protection, and the quality of elections. The moderating effect of a given country’s democracy stock has been confirmed across different estimations. However, and especially during the post–Cold War period, younger and older democracies benefit equally from the increased spread of information caused by globalisation with regard to equal access. Equally, both categories experience similar challenges with the rise of interpersonal globalisation in terms of the quality of elections.
