The study also devotes to examine the presence and pervasiveness of Glass-ceiling , as affecting the career prospects of women professionals in Kerala. This study was conducted on 350 women professionals in Kerala. Women professionals in three different cities in Kerala- Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode, and, four professional groups-Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers and Chartered Accountants- constituted the sample for the study. The theories of Symbolic Interaction and Gender Inequality have been adopted as conceptual frame for analysis. The results reveal that though different strategies are resorted to meet the demands of career on family, the pattern of coping strategies are similaramong all professional groups. Tho |
