Glass Ceiling

Despite women's advances in most professions, there are still very few women in corporate senior management and other high-level professional positions. In 1995, the Federal Glass Ceiling Commission found that 95-97% of senior managers in Fortune 1000 industrial and Fortune 500 companies were male. The "glass ceiling" for women in business is perpetuated by inadequate outreach and recruitment, lack of mentoring opportunities, and placement in positions where they are less likely to gain the experience and contacts necessary for advancement, among other discriminatory practices.
