Resumen

Glass ceiling in its universally accepted definition reinforces discriminative perceptions that govern alland related research on gender issues. It is an invisible and an intangible barrier acting as the upperlimit for advancement that keeps minorities and women from reaching beyond. Gender concepts haveevolved from biological, psychological, social and economic analyses of the issues and their beingunderstood to have been an outcome of each of such analysis. Sex and Gender have equally beenresearched and identified as components of social conditioning. With such stratified and variedtreatment of gender issues, discrimination that is the reason behind the existence of glass ceilingseems to be the outcome of differentiation having gone wrong. Differentiation is a positive economictreatment of unique characteristics. The present paper is an attempt to develop a positive treatmentof differentiation through a comprehensive analysis of existing research and how such analysis couldremove the glass ceiling through such positive treatment of concepts.
