- the factors which keep women in low level, nonmanagerial and support roles and prevent them from seeking or gaining promotion or career development. This term may refer to barriers to the advancement of women such as family commitments, attitudes, stereotyping, and organizational structures but has also been used to focus on circumstances where women are promoted but do not receive commensurate wage rises. It is most likely to be used with reference to women, though it may also apply to other groups of employees. The lead ceiling is a similar concept.
