Multinational enterprises (MNEs) interact in the global market, creating lots of jobs all around the world. Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) is the way by which they interact, investing abroad until representing the largest source of external finance for developing countries for instance (United Nations Conference on Trade And Development). No need thus to explain the importance of those FDI in the business world, which is growing more and more. Developing countries' inward stock of FDI currently corresponds to nearly one third of their GDP, whereas it was only 10% in 1980. According to the UNCTAD statistics, 53 million jobs are directly provided by the Transnational Corporations (TNCs) all around the world. Still, this amount does not take into account all the indirect jobs created, as well as the technological and managerial changes these companies bring to their host countries.
