What Is A Gender Role?

Gender roles are a social construct that happens around the world. Because of them, people follow certain stereotypical paths based on their gender in both their personal and professional lives.

How Do You Define Glass Ceiling?

The glass ceiling refers to the metaphorical barrier that prevents a woman from advancing beyond a certain level in a company or any organisation due to prejudices against women. These included societal, governmental, internal business, and business structural barriers. For example, a woman may do the same job as a male colleague and have the same qualifications, but may never be promoted to a senior level.Marilyn Loden coined the phrase “glass ceiling” at the 1978 Women’s Exhibition.

Within the same concepts of other terms surrounding the workplace, there are similar terms for restrictions and constraints related to the roles women play within organizations and how they reconcile this with their maternal duties. These “invisible barriers” serve as metaphors to describe the additional circumstances that women go through, typically as they try to advance in their career fields and often in their lives outside of their places of work.

Similar profit dynamics play out within companies.

What Should Be Done To Shatter The Glass Ceiling?

Company leaders should use their networking and strength of relationships to help women gain more visibility. Mentoring alone does not equal promotions for women, but sponsorships may be the key to breaking workplace gender barriers.If women identify what is really important to them, they can work with  others at home and at the office to create strategies to  overcome the glass ceiling.Women must believe in their aspirations and maintain self-confidence, and talk openly about their accomplishments to get noticed and go after what they wish to achieve in their early 20’s or mid 30’s. The recognition of talent must be placed above gender biases and stereotypes for organizations need to implement structured systems and practices to break glass ceilings and make space for women.
