Abstract:

The main goal of this thesis is to describe and investigate gender inequality in work conditions in Kazakhstan by examining the Glass ceiling phenomenon. The theoretical part of this thesis introduces and explains the glass ceiling, access to education, job segregation, wage gap, stereotypes, and cultural norms worldwide and in Kazakhstan. On top of that, it shows worldwide reports, global inequality indexes, and a general overview of the government's approaches toward equality. The practical part includes testing the dependency between the independent variables and the glass ceiling using the SAS studio program. Microsoft Excel is used to visualize the preliminary data of the variables and survey results conducted in 2016 among 1500 respondents for interpretation of the biases and stereotypes of the country. The multiple linear regression tests the relationship between the target variable - the glass ceiling, and three explanatory variables - education access, pay gap, and job segregation variables. The regression model concludes that the glass ceiling variable has a significant relationship with education access and pay gap while having no significant relationship with job segregation.
