Abstract
Evaluations of the costs/benefits of transnational corporation employment should be based on two criteria: the long-term effects of transnational investment on the level of underdevelopment and the effects on women"s economic independence relative to men, their families, and the state. In the short-run, transnational corporation investment may lead to economic growth and increases in female employment. In the long-run, such investment may perpetuate underdevelopment, while the instability of and low wages from such employment may lead to continued dependency of women on men and the state.
