This captivating book delves into the fascinating phenomenon of the simultaneous Asianisation and feminisation of mid-level management in the financial services sector across world and global cities in the Asia-Pacific region. Drawing upon 50 in-depth interviews with ethnically Chinese female professionals occupying middle or upper management positions in Sydney, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and four other cities in Australia and China, the author conducts a thorough analysis of the intricate interplay between geographical location, gender, and career mobility. The growing presence of transnational Chinese individuals in major cities in developed countries is creating a novel social, economic ecosystem, which is being shaped and influenced by the remarkable contributions of female professionals working in the elite sector of the service industry across the Asia-Pacific region. Chan's insightful examination of these women's lives and work sheds light on their pivotal role in forming multinational networks within financial service firms, their collective work environment, the daily challenges they face, and the innovative coping strategies they employ both in the workplace and at home. This compelling comparative study holds immense appeal to scholars and students interested in exploring the intricate dynamics of gender and ethnicity in the context of globalisation.
