Document Summary

Glass ceiling: a barrier that keeps people from rising past a certain point. For women goes into the workforce, glass ceiling means women cannot get higher or leader positions. Glass escalator: a systematic set of hidden advantages for men in such occupations. Equal pay for equal work: women and men should be paid the same wage for the same work. Comparable worth: (equal pay for work of equal value) the jobs traditionally done by women and that traditionally done by men can be considered equal in value and should be remunerated accordingly. The values of composites of skills, effort, responsibility and working conditions of jobs normally done by women and normally done by men within the same organization be established and compared. Lack of fit: a major factor in personnel decisions is the expectation of how successful an individual will be in a particular job.
