Abstract

Working women in Bangladesh face different kinds of challenges from different grounds irrespective of their socioeconomic backgrounds. The current study aims at measuring the perceived impact of those challenges on women’s careers. The extent to which each of the challenges is responsible for disturbance in women’s careers has been measured in this study. From the previous literature, five challenges namely- family issues, discrimination in terms of facilities, working conditions at the office, social challenges, and sexual harassment, have been considered. This study finds sexual harassment as the most significant among the aforementioned challenges to have an impact on women’s careers. This study also finds that sexual harassment, discrimination in terms of facilities, and family challenges are mostly responsible for creating an adverse impact on women’s careers. Human resource managers, line managers, employers, and policymakers are expected to be benefited from the findings of this study which may aid in creating a better workplace for working women in Bangladesh.
