????新興市場不存在這樣的問題。許多新興市場目前正在進行自己的工業革命。按照2013年的標準，一些國家的文化顯得較為保守；但在勞動分工領域，和世紀之交處處保守的美國相比，就連這些國家看起來可能都像是出現了推動社會前進的“性解放運動”。

????女性在處于增長狀態的新興市場經濟體所獲得的就業機會也較多。奧馬利指出：“大家可能認為那些價值觀較為傳統的國家會糾結于是否讓女性擔任領導工作，但觀察一下這些國家就會發現，它們都是增長型經濟體，也就是說它們都在創造就業機會?！彪S著這些國家形成自己的企業文化，女性剛剛進入勞動力大軍時就會處于較高層次。

????美國在這方面的法令比較模糊，因此必須迅速用其他方法來取代自上而下的政令，以便鼓勵企業在高級管理職位上聘用女性。奧瑪利說：“消極坐等可不是什么好的公司策略。”（財富中文網）

????Emerging markets don't face that problem in the same way. Many are undergoing their very own industrial revolutions right now, and even culturally conservative countries by 2013 standards probably look like socially progressive free-love fests compared to the buttoned-up division of labor prevalent in turn-of-the-century America.

????Emerging market economies also have more opportunities to hire women since they are growing, O'Malley says. "If you look at more traditional-valued countries who you think would struggle with putting women in leadership rules, they're also the growth countries, so they're creating new jobs." As these nations are developing their business cultures, women are entering the workforce in high places from the get-go.

????The U.S. has less of a clean slate, and will have to quickly come up with an alternative to top-down government mandates to encourage the appointment of senior-level women at corporations. "It would not be a good business strategy to sit and wait," O'Malley says.
