Resumen en inglés

This study aims to explain the impact of MNE-driven development on inequalities with a focus on job opportunities for men and women in emerging countries and to highlight the importance of gender issues in global development indicators. Specifically, it aims to answer the following question: How have MNEs in Colombia contributed to the creation of job inequalities for men and women in the country? The case study methodology was used to address this question using secondary sources such as databases and reports available on the internet. The results show that FDI in emerging countries has unforeseen outcomes that affect the economies and well-being of their populations due to the lack of assimilative capacities of local governments, poor regulations and weak infrastructures for democratization of opportunities and resources, which increases gender inequalities.
