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

Definition from own experience or research:
omärklig barriär som hindrar kvinnor att nå högre poster enligt Nationalencyklopedin, men jag tror nog att det kanske också gäller minoriteter och svaga grupper i allmänhet

Example sentence(s):
  • Det går inte bara att peka finger och skylla på glastak eller män i mörka kostymer. Det hänger också på oss, att våga ta höga jobb, säger Pia ­Anderberg. - E24  
  • Den grundläggande orsaken till "glastaket" är att män vanligen rekryterar män. - Ny Teknik
