Glass Elevator

A glass elevator is comparable to a reverse glass ceiling. It concerns the advancement of men in into positions of power into what have traditionally been female-dominated employment. Glass elevator describes the rapidity of promotion of men over women in certain fields. Among these are nursing and libraries. On a glass elevator, men are less likely to struggle to advance upwards. There is no ladder of a success, but there is a glass elevator ensuring rapid transit to the top positions. Based on sexual stereotyping, men succeed faster in obtaining the top jobs in these female-dominated forms of employment. Documenting the discrimination will help you obtain a lawyer to fight against any covert policy that allows the existence of a glass elevator.
