The Global Glass Ceiling - Madison Gulenchyn by https://padlet.com/madison_gulenchyn/70bd70cxozds The Global Glass Ceiling GNED-1449 WOMEN ACROSS CLT en-us 2018-03-26 20:22:43 UTC 2024-04-05 13:08:01 UTC hello@padlet.com When Women Rule: TIME madison_gulenchyn https://padlet.com/madison_gulenchyn/70bd70cxozds/wish/246283574 When Women Rule is a documentary which follows three women from Kenya, Kyrgyzstan and Bolivia, (Tara John, 2018).

These women showcase the global glass ceiling that is faced by all women, globally. 

These women show another side to the issue from global perspectives. 

While we know Hillary Clinton certainly put a crack in the North American glass ceiling, these women tell their stories and fight to break the global ceiling through their politics. 

These women show us that the low power and inequalities women face globally, as discussed in class, can be changed when we work hard to break the ceiling.

As you can imagine, globally, women of colour fight for their rights to advance in their professions.

A lot of the content I analyzed in this assignment reminded me of our classes first chapter. Where we discussed the low power and status of women. I mention it frequently throughout this padlet as it is relevant and something that will stick with me forever.]]> 2018-03-28 17:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/madison_gulenchyn/70bd70cxozds/wish/247009648 Through the glass ceiling madison_gulenchyn https://padlet.com/madison_gulenchyn/70bd70cxozds/wish/247048446 This article focuses in on the finalists of Women of the Future Awards. Twelve Malaysian women from diverse backgrounds are among the finalists, (Meera Murugesan, 2018).

The event is to honour females in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations who have demonstrated leadership qualities in their areas of expertise, (Murugesan).

This article is interesting as it talks about a crucial event that supports women in countries struggling with their leadership roles being controlled by females.

The Awards represent many different careers from a comedian, VJ, founder and managing director, etc.

This article explains what females in Southeast Asia are doing for their societies and how they are dominating in their leading roles. 

I think this article gives another diverse look to the glass ceiling globally, and rather than a look at how the glass ceiling is limiting women, it shows us how women are breaking it.

The piece aims to empower them, to show their worth and help them realize their full potential.

The work discusses how the gender biases women face, even perhaps unconsciously, affect how they will pursue jobs. In addition to bias, women also face stereotypes and the long work hours that discourage them from climbing to the top of their career paths, (Derya Ersin Jovanovic, 2018).

The piece mentions that globally, only 12 percent of females hold leadership roles and jobs. It also explains that there are two things societies globally need to do to create a suitable place for them to succeed, (Jovanovic).

It says that there needs to be a created environment where women are enabled to shatter the glass ceiling, (Jovanovic). Where the gender biases, stereotypes and the long work hours that women face are no longer disabling to their careers and end goals.

The second point societies need to change globally is to provide positive reinforcement for more females to make sacrifices for advancement in their careers. 

This article reminds me of when in class, we discussed the inequalities women face. This shows women's low status, as this is never done to a man to this extent. Men are invited to take longer shifts, while women are shamed.

"Companies need to be more innovative and accommodating in terms of employment arrangements to promote diversity. Family-friendly policies are crucial so that female professionals can shine at unique stages of their lives," (Jovanovic).

Globally, the gender wage gap presents itself. This alone is something that tells women they are worth less when compared to men.

While this is a website that talks mostly about American women, they relate it globally. But also, it's crucial that while discussing a wide topic like the global glass ceiling, you consider reciting it back to a society that potentially mirrors yours.

Despite overall increase in the workforce for women, there are still barriers in place to cease them from getting too far into a successful career, (Data in the News, 2017).

In 2013 only 38.6% of American women were in managing positions, (Data in the News). In addition to this, women who are doing the same jobs as men are nevertheless making less than them.

In a country that prides itself in freedom and equality for all, you would think women would be paid the same as men.

Instead of dwelling on the issues we're currently battling, the video talks about looking forward to the future and how we can create equal opportunities for women.

This video is an episode which is part of a six episode series. This episode focuses in on women and what's preventing women from closing the gender gap in the world of work, (Bloomberg, 2016).

This video was made by Bloomberg, which is a privately held financial company created in New York City. 

Using Bloomberg and global experts, Forward Thinking helps make sense of the global problems we are currently facing, and how this impacts the future, (Bloomberg). 

This video explains the reasons why women can't smash the glass ceiling despite many attempts. The video points out that the world of work is still very much male dominated, (Bloomberg).

In the Middle East and Africa, only 25% of women are economically active. Women in these countries also count as 75% of the unpaid workers.While this may seem ludicrous compared to North America, 25% of female employees in our society feels as though they have been held back, their gender, (Bloomberg).

These two examples and comparisons show that women, who make up half of the population, deserve to have the chance to contribute to the economy as paid workers.The gender gap and glass ceiling remain a problem in every part of the world. 

The truth is that no one has it figured out, even though this has been a continuous issue for many years.The episode says societies globally have been holding women back from "obtaining and retaining the highest levels in companies and government," (Bloomberg).

Anne-Marie Slaughter is the President of New America, and she had to rise from the bottom to the top. She said something that reminded me of something we discussed in class. She said the feminist movement was about equality. Slaughter says it's about women wanting to be seen on the high level that men have always been seen.She says that she thinks you can be powerful at work, or do important work, and still have a family, (Bloomberg).

But, she believes with the way work is currently structured, society needs to make big changes to allow both men and women the ability to do the work and family balance a reality. Slaughter says far too many people have to make a choice between work or family because of the structure careers take on, and far too many of those people are women, (Bloomberg).

She says we have to become accustomed to reversed gender roles, something we also talked about in class. 

For example, if we as a society see a father as the primary caregiver, this shouldn't surprise us, it should be the normality.

Men have to realize that they can reverse their roles with women. It's equally important that women realize they can reverse their roles with men.

This video taught me that we are facing a large globally impacted issue when it comes to the glass ceiling. This video was so insightful and really opened my eyes to the damage that is occuring around the world.

The inequalities and low status women have in countries, where they are disregarded and are constantly set back by barriers put up by societies to limit their success in their employments is truly shocking.

The last thing I think is important to mention to make this video come full circle is when Melinda Gates, from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said, "I call myself an impatient optimist. I'm impatient because the world is getting better for women...but it's not getting better quickly enough," (Bloomberg).

While the other videos showcase a wide global view, we leave North America in this video and focus in on Japan. 

Japan's glass ceiling is difficult to shatter. The country possesses the lowest percentage of women in leader roles compared to 36 economies, (The Wall Street Journal, 2016)

Only seven percent of leading jobs are attained by women.Because of Japan's long streak of men operating the leader positions in the country, the glass ceiling has thickened, (The Wall Street Journal).

Thus making this harder for the women in Japan to demolish it. There is an upside to this. Prime Minister Shinzō Abe hopes women to fill 30% of management jobs by 2020, (The Wall Street Journal).

While this is a step in the ideal direction, Japan needs to work on its glass ceiling. In the video, it also compares Japan to countries like the U.S., the U.K. and Germany. 

The stats of women employed in leadership roles are lower in the compared countries, this country is still the lowest.

The Philippines has a 50/50 fulfillment of these roles. Meaning both men and women equally get the same type of roles and commitments, (Media Economist. 2007).

The global average on the chart, shows just over 20%, (Media Economist), while this report was done in 2007, there nevertheless haven't been many changes to how many women sustain dominant roles. 

I think as we've progressed these last few years, we've become more self-aware, and we are trying to fix our societal normalities of making women powerless.

The chart showcases that out of the selected countries, the Philippines is the solitary country with 50/50 treatment while the rest of the countries are struggling to make it past the 20% mark, (Media Economist). This is a sad reality for societies globally.

This graphic showcases the effects of a glass ceiling and its effects globally. This reminds me of the son preference. We witness more men in high driven jobs because of the preference. In many countries, male children are valued over female children. 

Referring back to our first modules, globally, boys and girls are seen differently. Men are seen as strong suitors, while women are seen as weak. 

Men are CEO material because they can accomplish anything. While women are left to complete housework because they are less than men and can't do half of things they can do.

This photograph looks at the years 2016 or later and the way women are impacted by the glass ceiling index. 

The index is based on the work environments for women. The index ranks 29 countries and goes from a 0-100 scale, 100 being the best possible score.

Iceland ranks first with just over 80, while South Korea ranks 29 with a score of just under 40, (Fausta's Blog, 2016).

This graphic not only shows the rankings of where women are either embraced in the workplace or shunned but also relates back to the course work. 

The global glass ceiling reminds me of the first module we covered. We talked about the injustice towards women and their insufficient power.

Men’s control in the workplace constitutes women to have a more excessive dependence on men thus executing men more power to manipulate them. It's not fair that men can work long hours and work hard while women are made to feel ashamed to be away from their families for substantial amounts of time.

Women’s lower status is something that is caused by the glass ceiling. 

In this Southeast Asian graphic, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia are all dissected to see which country has more female participation at the CEO/board level in jobs.

The countries are ranked by overall female participation in CEO/board level, senior management, work force and university graduates. 

Vietnam is ranked the highest in CEO/board level, while Indonesia has the most limited female participation, (Bloomberg).

Singapore is the highest in senior management, while Vietnam is the lowest, (Bloomberg).

Malaysia has the highest female workforce, while Indonesia has the lowest, (Bloomberg).

Malaysia also has the highest female university graduates, while Singapore has the least, (Bloomberg).

From this graphic, we can see what countries are doing right, and what they're doing wrong. As this is a global issue that impacts all women, we can use this data to improve practices in countries globally. 

The only way to shatter the glass ceiling is to correct societies mistakes and help women help themselves.
