Abstract
This article describes findings from a Catalyst study that explored why there are so few women with global assignments. The study reveals several prevailing assumptions in corporate and professional America about women's willingness and ability to relocate. One of the most pervasive is that dual-career issues hinder women's ability to relocate internationally. This assumption is applied universally to women regardless of personal situation and discounts how men are also in dual-career relationships. Furthermore, the study provides recommendations for employers to support dual-career couples relocating globally, thereby increasing the likelihood that assignment offers will be accepted and the assignment completed successfully.
