Definition from Prof. dr Nadica Figar:
„Stakleni plafon“ je granica do koje žene uopšte, a pogotovo žene majke, mogu razvijati svoju poslovnu karijeru.

Example sentence(s):
  • Pojam staklenog plafona ili glass ceiling-a široko se upotrebljava od 1987. godine (prvi put upotrebljen 1970. u SAD) da bi označio pojavu nepisane nemogućnosti žena da u poslovnoj hijerarhiji napreduju do najviših rukovodećih položaja. - e-jednakost  
  • Stakleni plafon je slikovit izraz kojim se ilustruje da u društvima u kojima muškarci zauzimaju većinu pozicija moći žene nailaze na nevidljive prepreke. - fondacija-boell  
  • Pošto je diskriminacija sasvim realna, ali se javno ne priznaje, često se naziva stakleni plafon, tj. prepreka koja se ne može videti. - mr Anđela MIKIĆ
