Glass Ceiling
Glass Ceiling -「ガラスの天井」
The term "glass ceiling" refers to the artificial barrier which prevents women or minorities from climbing the corporate ladder to the upper echelons. As the term implies, the glass ceiling allows us to see the clear sky above but limits how far we can go in our attempt to reach higher goals. This phenomenon is evident in Japan in that women’s participation in managerial posts accounts for less than 1%.
