ceiling prevails in the banking sector of Pakistan. This study begins with an introduction of the concept of a
glass ceiling that prevents women from advancing and then continues with previous studies on corporate
practices and data analysis of samples from private and public banks. The 100 respondents were selected
randomly 50 from private banks and 50 from public banks of Lahore. The research analysis describe that
women are facing almost equal glass ceiling in both public and private banking sectors. Most of the respondent

in one way or the other.
