This paper constructs and analyses a set of novel indicators on gender equality in the business sector, which focus on multinational enterprises and foreign traders. The descriptive data tables are drawn from the rich linked statistical registers available at Statistics Finland. The analysis reveals large differences in the share of women and men employed in the best paying professions, such as in managerial jobs, and in professions requiring science, technology, engineering or mathematics degrees, or deep digital competencies. However, while a sizeable gender pay gap in the business sector is identified in high-paying occupations, and in multinational enterprises in particular, the gap is smaller in domestically owned businesses. The gender pay gap tends to be larger in high-paying jobs in foreign multinationals and in enterprises that trade internationally. Based on the statistics presented, the analyses suggest that economic globalization tends to magnify gender inequalities in the Finnish labour market. This paper contributes to the field of official statistics by providing a blueprint, showing how business statistics and social statistics can be linked to enable an analysis of gender inequalities in the labour market.
