Glass ceiling effect: What is the impact on women's career progression?

The glass ceiling effect refers to an invisible barrier that prevents women from advancing to higher positions in the workplace, often resulting in limited career progression. This phenomenon has a significant impact on women’s professional growth. The glass ceiling perpetuates gender inequality and restricts women's access to leadership roles and decision-making positions. It creates a systemic disadvantage and hampers their opportunities for career advancement. Consequently, women may experience lower wages, fewer opportunities for promotions, and limited representation in senior management positions. Additionally, the glass ceiling fosters a discriminatory work environment that can negatively impact women's confidence, job satisfaction, and overall career aspirations.
