L’ascension professionnelle et le plafond de verre dans les entreprises privées au Québec 1

Abstract: En dépit du consensus social québécois sur l’égalité de fait à atteindre, l’histoire de l’émancipation des femmes reste à parachever. Sur le marché du travail, les échelons supérieurs des organisations, tant privées que publiques, demeurent la prérogative des hommes qui occupent, dans une proportion très élevée, les postes les plus influents dans la majorité des entreprises au Québec et ailleurs. Le présent article s’intéresse au phénomène du plafond de verre et, plus précisément, à la pérennité des facteurs q… Show more

“…To explain the concentration of women in the intermediate positions, studies indicate the phenomenon of "glass ceiling". The glass ceiling designates, according to Marchand and al (2007), the perceptible barriers or constraints that constrain the professional career development of women in the organizational hierarchy. More precisely, 'this' ceiling' of the professional profiles of women executives is due to 'invisible' factors, as indicated by the metaphor of the glass, which allows the gaze to pass and not the people, opening the perspective while blocking the movement (Marchand and al., 2007).…”

More precisely, 'this' ceiling' of the professional profiles of women executives is due to 'invisible' factors, as indicated by the metaphor of the glass, which allows the gaze to pass and not the people, opening the perspective while blocking the movement (Marchand and al., 2007). The glass ceiling thus expresses, on the one hand, discriminatory attitudes that hamper women's professional development and, on the other hand, underlies the fact that inequalities are reinforced during the rise to positions of responsibility, Evoking the inclusion of this phenomenon on a set of gender inequalities and not as an isolated constraint that arises at some point in the course of a career path, which would misleadingly suggest that career models are linear systems.…”

“…Les mesures des taux de surqualification excluent souvent les gestionnaires en raison de leur hétérogénéité interne, la catégorie comprenant à la fois des dirigeants de grandes entreprises et des directeurs de commerce de détail. Ce faisant, les tendances peuvent conduire à sous-estimer les tensions genrées liées à la surqualification dans la mesure où les femmes sont moins présentes au sein des gestionnaires que les hommes, sous-représentation qui est associée au phénomène du plafond de verre (Marchand, Saint-Charles et Corbeil, 2007). Ces tensions genrées apparaissent particulièrement quand on compare l'évolution de la proportion des diplômés universitaires au sein des jeunes de 25 à 44 ans en emploi et celle de la proportion des personnes occupant des emplois de niveau A de compétence (graphique 2).…”
