AAPI Nexus: Glass Ceiling/Health Issues 4:1 (2006)

In this issue, we shift gears to examine topics related to employment and health. AAPIs are very heterogeneous with respect to both labor-market and health outcomes. While our previous issue on employment (Volume 3, Number 2, Summer/Fall 2005) focused on those at the lower end of the economic ladder, the three articles that form the employment cluster in this issue are related to the “glass ceiling,” which has been defined as the adverse impact of artificial barriers limiting women and minorities from rising to managerial and leadership positions. We purposefully use a question in the title for this cluster of articles because the authors take disparate positions regarding the “glass ceiling” and thus the phenomenon remains an empirical question.
