Millennial women want more foreign jobs

Women working for big global companies say they aren’t getting the international assignments they need for career advancement because employers think they’re less mobile than men, according to a new PwC survey.

More than 70 percent of millennial women in the study said they want to work outside their home country. Yet only 20 percent of international postings are filled by female workers, according to a poll of 3,900 male and female professionals and companies with headquarters in 23 countries. The study, released last week by the consulting firm, defined millennials as people born between 1980 and 1995.

“Too many overseas assignments are still today generated by an old-boy network” that assumes men are more willing to relocate, said Peter Clarke, PwC’s global mobility services leader. Companies “need a fact-based understanding of people’s willingness to take an assignment.”

Women make up just 4.4 percent of S&P 500 chief executive officers and hold about 20 percent of board seats, even though they now represent almost half of college graduates and entry-level employees at large firms. Six in 10 of the companies surveyed said international assignments are critical to potential managers gaining experience, connecting with more senior role models and getting promoted, according to the survey.

The study found that bosses often mistakenly assume that women won’t take on foreign assignments because they have children. In fact, a nearly equal number of executives — 41 percent of the women and 40 percent of the men — who said they wanted overseas assignments already were parents, PwC found.
