직장 내 성차별은 많은 나라에서 아직도 큰 사회적 이슈이고 전 세계적으로 국제기관과 각국 정 부들은 이를 줄이기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 기업들 또한 직장 내 성차별을 줄이는 것을 사회적 책임 활동의 하나로 여기고 점차 많은 관심을 보이고 있다. 이러한 추세를 바탕으로 본 연 구는 외국인 소유가 직장 내 여성차별에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 조사한다. 한국직업능력개발원 에서 구축한 인적자본 기업패널 자료를 분석하여 본 연구는 외국인이 소유권을 보유하고 있는 회사 는 한국인만이 소유권을 보유하고 있는 회사에 비해 좀 더 많은 여성 인력을 채용하고 있음을 밝혔 다. 또한 외국인이 소유권을 보유하고 있는 회사는 상장회사일 경우 비상장회사에 비해 정규직 여 성채용에 더 적극적임을 발견했다. 이러한 연구결과는 외국인 투자가 현지국의 직장 내 성차별이라 는 사회적 이슈에 미치는 영향을 보여줌으로 외국인 투자와 성차별에 관한 연구분야에 유용한 시사 점을 제공하고 있다.
