Women workers are still facing worsening working conditions in the factories in which our clothes are made

2022: This report is co-authored by Lauren McCarthy, Senior Lecturer in Corporate Social Responsibility at Bayes, and summarises a UKRI/ GCRF funded project exploring how COVID-19 affected the lives of Cambodian women garment workers. Importantly, we show how even as the pandemic wanes, women workers are still facing worsening working conditions in the factories in which our clothes are made.

Gender Diversity and Dealmaking

2022: Dr Valeriya Vitkova, Senior Research Fellow at the Bayes M&A Research Centre (MARC), is the lead researcher on “Gender Diversity and Dealmaking 2022” - an analysis of the impact of female CEOs and board-level gender diversity on M&A. This research was commissioned by SS&C Intralinks (a cloud-based financial technology provider) and it shows how gender-diverse leadership during the pandemic delivered superior post-M&A performance and why women CEOs still face greater challenges than their male counterparts. This analysis is an update to the earlier report published in 2020 by the MARC in collaboration with SS&C Intralinks.
