Glass ceiling
The glass ceiling is the unseen and, currently unbreakable barrier that keeps marginalised groups in the labour force, such as women and minorities, from rising to the upper managerial positions in organisations
An evident problem for women as only 25% of women hold key management positions, and are only on 25% of company boards in Australia
-
Improved equality in the public sector, with women accounting for 40% of all senior executive positions (the highest level of management in an organisation)
Racial minorities face this problem, with only 2% of Asian ethnic Australians having senior managerial roles at firms, even thought they make up approximately 10% of our population
Only 18 per cent of Asian talent felt their workplace was free of cultural diversity biases and stereotypes, and many reported they often felt stereotypes and had incorrect assumptions made about their background, leadership capability, English proficiency and age.
Another example of this was found in 2010, wehn economists at the Australian National University found substantial racial discrimination in hiring by Australian employers.
The researchers sent over 4000 fake job applications with the same qualifications, with different names to represent their ethnic background
In order to get as many interviews as an applicant with an Anglo-Saxon name, someone with a Chinese name needed to submit 68 per cent more applications. Those with a Middle Eastern name would need 64 per cent more. By comparison, those with an Italian name needed to put in 12 per cent more applications.

Japan has one of the worst equality of political gender equality among developed countries
Japanese people have the mindset of “men at work, women at home”
And “people have this mindset that politics is the prime example of public work, and that it is men’s job”
Female candidates often face criticism from voters for running for an election when their priority should be homemaking or raising children

Even if the male and female have the same qualification as each other when they're running the election, the chances of a female winning the election is a lot lower
