We also bring you news from around the world, including expert analysis of the election results in India, report on the long-awaited EU directive on intra-corporate transfers, and ask whether Brazil is outgrowing its status as an emerging economy.

We examine new research that shows tech companies in Europe and the UK are lagging behind Asia, Latin America and the US in their efforts to attract and keep top women workers  – and reveal some of the fascinating reasons. Perhaps you have experience of this? If so, we’d love to hear from you. Post a comment at the end of the article.

Next week, we will be publishing a special edition of Re:locate Extra focusing on property and education, two of the most important issues for companies and their relocating employees. Don’t miss it!
