The scenario of women is slowly changing in recent years they have stepped out from their comfort zones to create their own images in the outside world and completely transformed in the modern day, the urban women specially has changed from being a mere homemaker to the modern-day multitasking women. Women of today, choose the right career paths that determine their future and thus we see them excelling in every walk of life. Despite this paradigm shift in women empowerment and development, there seems to be an invisible barrier that prevents women from reaching the top. This situation has returned to represent a spread of biases that forestall qualified minorities and women from advancing within the workplace notably into mid-and senior-level management positions. It is most present in lower levels of profession, such as care work. Feminized care professions are often paid lower wages than stereotypically male professions, but males experience a phenomenon in which they earn higher wages and have faster career mobility when they enter feminine careers. This idea is a parallel to the popular idea of the glass ceiling, where women face troubles advancing in the workplace. It is evident from various studies that historical background, socio cultural norms and self imposed barriers are the major obstacles that are preventing women from entering into apex positions. As women were subjected to various forms of subordinations and inequalities since the ages, despite of many efforts both by government and non government, still women are lagging behind man. This is seriously affecting not only the individual, but also the county. Hence, it is the need of the hour to realize the impact of glass ceiling and sensitize both men and women to overcome by empowering themselves. We need to really take steps to strengthen the relationship between men and women at work.
