    Both vertical (between job levels) and horizontal (within job levels) mobility can be sources of wage growth. We find that the glass ceiling operates at both margins. The unexplained part of the wage gap grows across job levels (glass ceiling at the vertical margin) and across the deciles of the intra-job-level wage distribution (glass ceiling at the horizontal margin). This implies that women face many glass ceilings, one for each job level above the second, and that the glass ceiling is a pervasive phenomenon. In the Netherlands it affects about 88% of jobs, and 81% of Dutch women in employment work in job levels where a glass ceiling is present.glass ceiling, wage gap, gender

    Contemporary African women are often cast as existing below the glass ceiling. African women who are perceived as having overcome this glass threshold are therefore seen and celebrated as exceptional. Against this background, this essay offers conceptual tools with which to examine the lives of historical and contemporary women in Ga traditional society of Ghana, living beyond the glass ceiling. Drawing a distinction between the role of women in the modern nation-state and traditional societies, this study asserts that unlike the situation in modern governance, structures and practices of Ga traditional societies have enabled Ga women to live beyond the glass ceiling. Acknowledging the non-static and dynamic evolution of Ga traditional society, this paper explores how Ga women exercise public and private power in Ga society

    An Economic Theory of Glass Ceiling

    In the 'glass ceiling' debate there appear to be two strongly held and opposing interpretations of the evidence, one suggesting it is really the result of gender differences and the other that there is discrimination by gender. This paper provides an economic theory of the glass ceiling and one of the main insights of our analysis is that in some real sense these two interpretations are not in conflict with each other. The glass ceiling emerges as an equilibrium phenomenon when firms compete à la Bertrand even though employers know that offering women the same contract as men would be sufficient to erase all differences among promoted workers. The model also provides new insights into anti-discrimination policy measures. (Updated from working paper 07/183)glass ceilings, promotions, career options

    FENOMENA GLASS CEILING PADA WANITA BEKERJA DAN FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG BERPERAN

    Get PDF
    Hambatan yang menghadap jenjang karir wanita bekerja bisa jadi tidak tampak (invisible), tetapi dirasakan keberadaannya. Fenomena ini disebut dengan glass ceiling. Eksistensi fenomena ini bisa menurunkan motivasi para wanita bekerja. Wanita karir ketika mendongak dan melihat posisi yang lebih atas harus dicapai melalui halangan yang tidak tampak, yang sulit untuk mereka lalui. Hal ini membuat mereka tidak mampu meraih posisi yang lebih tinggi bahkan posisi puncak. Penelitian-penelitian empirik cenderung mendukung eksisnya fenomena glass ceiling. Analisis terhadap fenomena glass ceiling ini merupakan hal penting. Penggunaan sumber daya optimal dari tenaga kerja wanita tidak akan tercapai apabila porsi besar tenaga kerja yang dicapai kaum wanita tidak memotivasi mereka untuk pencapaian kinerja dan prestasi optimal. Penelitian fenomena glass ceiling ini mempunyai beberapa tujuan. Tujuan tersebut adalah: mengeksplorasi apakah fenomena glass ceiling eksis di kalangan wanita bekerja, faktor-faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi eksistensi glass ceilling tersebut, seberapa besar peranan faktor tersebut terhadap eksistensi glass ceiling, serta strategi apa saja yang bisa dilakukan wanita bekerja untuk mengatasi hambatan glass ceiling tersebut. Penelitian ini berusaha mengeksplorasi isu penelitian dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan in-depth interview terhadap narasumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa glass ceiling secara umum tidak dirasakan eksistensinya sejauh segala sesuatunya dilakukan dengan penuh komitmen dan tanggungjawab serta mendapat dukungan penuh dari keluarga. Glass ceiling baru akan terasa dalam proses peningkatan jenjang karir struktural, apalagi untuk menuju jabatan puncak. Glass ceiling juga muncul karena faktor internal dari diri wanita itu sendiri. Fenomena glass ceiling juga timbul karena faktor budaya timur yang kurang bisa memperkenankan wanita untuk mencapai posisi pemimpin, serta adanya pandangan masyarakat bahwa wanita dengan posisi karir yang tinggi akan mengorbankan keluarganya. Hal ini menimbulkan perasaan tidak nyaman apabila hendak mencapai posisi puncak dalam karir. Penelitian ini menyajikan dan mengulas hasil wawancara yang dilakukan. Termasuk dalam hasil wawancara tersebut adalah eksistensi fenomena glass ceiling, faktor-faktor yang berperan serta strategi dilakukan untuk mengatasi hambatan glass ceiling tersebut.
