- The participation of women in different job fields in our country is inevitable for the economic development because half of the population of our country is women and most of them are young and educated. Moreover, in recent years, private banking sector has become successful to grab the attention of the graduates. Although a good number of women are working in different private banks, it has been seen that a few of them can reach their expected level of career. And there are lots of factors working behind this. This study has been conducted aiming at measuring the impact of various factors of glass ceiling which impede women career development.
