English term or phrase: glass ceiling
Definition from inmotionmagazine.com:
Glass ceilings are the artificial barriers that deny women and minorities the opportunity to advance within their careers

Example sentence(s):
  • Even before The Wall Street Journal coined the term "glass ceiling" 20 years ago, researchers debated why women seldom reach the highest ranks in business. Forbes.com
  • "Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, it's got about 18 million cracks in it," Hillary Clinton told a huge rally of supporters at the National Building Museum in Washington. smh.com.au
  • The potential is there for women to achieve an equal footing with men, but the social mores and male attitudes make an effective barrier to women rising above a certain point; this tendency brings to mind a glass ceiling. Feminism and Women's Studies

"stakleni plafon"


Definition from own experience or research:
Doslovan prijevod bio bi strop od stakla, stakleni strop ili panoramski strop tj krov. Međutim, kako se ovdje radi o prenesenom značenju mislim da je "stakleni plafon" u kontekstu jer označava gornju granicu, najveću točku u karijeri tj barijeru koja kao ne postoji prema vani ali se unutar firme, industrije i sl jako osjeti

Example sentence(s):
  • I prije nego je Wall Street Jurnal skovao pojam "stakleni plafon" istraživači su debatirali o tome zašto žene rijetko postižu najviše pozicije u poslovnom svijetu. (prijevod gornjeg teksta) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_ceili

stakleni strop


Definition from Government of the Republic of Croatia:
tzv. »stakleni strop« je pojam koji se veže uz prepreke s kojima se žene suočavaju u profesionalnom napredovanju i koje ih sprječavaju da dosegnu vrh hijerarhije u tvrtkama.

Example sentence(s):
  • Neprobojan "stakleni strop" za žene Ispis E-mail Ponedjeljak, 20 Kolovoz 2007 Neprobojan »stakleni strop« za žene Broj žena bez škole registriranih na burzi tek je nešto veći od broja onih koje su završile fakultet ili akademiju te onih koje su magistrirale ili doktorirale. No zanimljivo je da udjel visoko školovanih žena među nezaposlenima te obrazovne skupine doseže gotovo 70 posto. Prema podacima HZZ-a, očito je da je najviše nezaposlenih mladih žena između 20. i 30. godine. No, one i najbrže odlaze s burze. Najteže pronalaze posao žene s radnim iskustvom i dobi između 40 i 50 godina, jer im često nedostaje informatička pismenost i znanje stranih jezika. - Pravobraniteljica za jednakost spolova
