Oh, once I found the linked articles I assumed what you'd read was about the same study. Do you think it was something independent of that?
Yes, those two were anecdotes, not studies. I wouldn't be surprised in the least bit if there were studies pointing the same way, though, but I've never looked: the point is obvious enough that it doesn't really need to be argued for.
Did you miss this (from the HBS link)?
"Employing women who are excluded by their own countries' labor markets is a growing trend for firms with international branch offices, says Harvard Business School professor Jordan Siegel. He discusses the issue in a new study titled "Multinational Firms, Labor Market Discrimination, and the Capture of Competitive Advantage by Exploiting the Social Divide", which he co-wrote with Lynn Pyun of MIT and B.Y. Cheon of Hanshin University and the Korea Labor Institute."
Edit: Oh, or did you mean that what you'd read before was just anecdotes?
That. http://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Publication%20Files/11-011_512c2b3a-2df5-41f9-a4ec-99af4716ba5f.pdf sounds interesting though.
