Glass Ceiling Index

Glass Ceiling Index (GCI) is an index for visualizing the glass ceiling metaphor, created by The Economist, combining data on higher education, labour-force participation, pay, child cares costs, maternity and paternity rights business-school applications and representation in senior jobs.[1] The countries where inequality was the lowest were Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Poland.[2] This index shows how women are still lagging their male counterparts in senior business roles. It is updated every year in a rank of 29 OECD countries. It was launched in 2013 when there were five indicators and 26 countries, but today consists of ten indicators including maternity and paternity leaving for 29 OECD countries.[3]
