Job Mobility and Wage Trajectories for Men and Women in the United States (2008, background): “…inequality among both men and women in recent years make this project particularly salient, as does the fact that wage differentials according to gender increase with age for younger cohorts, despite cross-sectional declines in gender wage inequality (Blau and Kahn 2000; Cotter et al. 2001).”
Working for the Woman? Female Managers and the Gender Wage Gap (2007, background): “…addressed women’s access to managerial authority (Blum, Fields, and Goodman 1994; Huffman and Cohen 2004a; Reskin and McBrier 2000; Smith 2002) and the “glass ceiling”—an unseen barrier between women and management or highstatus positions (Cotter et al. 2001; Hultin 2003; Wright and Baxter 2000).”
When Does Social Capital Matter? Non-Searching For Jobs Across the Life Course (2006, background): “(Cotter et al. 2001) Unfortunately, very little is known about non-searchers and the non-search process.”
A Welfare State Paradox: State Interventions and Women’s Employment Opportunities in 22 Countries1 (2006, neutral): “Following other studies that have dealt with the glass ceiling (i.e., Dulepp and Sanders 1992; Wright, Baxter, and Birkelund 1995; Athey, Avery, and Zemksy 2000; Cotter et al. 2001) in this study we empirically define “powerful” or “high-level” positions as management positions.”
A Systematic Review of the Gender Pay Gap and Factors That Predict It (2017, background): “Sticky floor explains systematic ways in which women are denied of opportunities to advance from lower elchlon position in their organizations and a large pay gap exists between each echelon of the wage distributions (Cotter et al., 2001).”
Twitter's Glass Ceiling: The Effect of Perceived Gender on Online Visibility (2016, background): “Foundational studies of glass-ceiling effects examined data based on quartiles (Cotter et al. 2001) as the effect is about the top portion of the hierarchy.”
How Welfare States Shape the Gender Pay Gap: A Theoretical and Comparative Analysis (2009, background): “This third component is well illustrated by the idea of a glass ceiling, which refers not to women’s under-representation in management but their exclusion from the most lucrative and powerful positions within this class (Cotter et al. 2001; U.S. Federal Glass Ceiling Commission 1995).”
