Abstract

The concept of women and the glass ceiling is a contentious issue in the world. Women's under-representation seems to be found in all spheres of life across the globe. The majority of positions are occupied by men in India and are not allowed women to attain higher positions. It is commonly found in wage fixation wherein women are facing discrimination in terms of pay, promotion, and prestigious awards. The researchers have done a bibliometric analysis. The analysis was based on data from the most cited authors in the Scopus database, at the national and international level. However, there is gender gap, slowly the glass ceiling is getting broken and women are getting into top positions across all the industries. The authors conducted bibliometric analysis using the keyword 'Glass ceiling of women managers in India'. Researchers suggest that government intervention is the means to solve problems through procedural and distributive justice.
