Married women greatly contribute to our efforts: Foxconn’s Liu

Foxconn Chairman Young Liu said the company practices gender-inclusive hiring and that women make up for a substantial portion of its workforce at its Tamil Nadu facility, the largest manufacturing site for the Taiwanese giant in India.

“Foxconn hires regardless of gender. Women make up a big part of our workforce here. Our emphasis is that married women greatly contribute to the efforts of what we are doing here,” Liu said on Saturday. He was speaking after the inauguration of a ₹706.5 crore mega industrial housing project developed by the Tamil Nadu government exclusively for Foxconn’s women workers in Sriperumbudur in the outskirts of Chennai.
