The "glass ceiling" is defined as the obstacles that obstruct a woman to achieve high-level positions in organizations. The aim of this paper is to analyze the current situation of women in senior management positions in the Mexican context, in order to measure how much the glass ceiling affects dieir professional development. For that, a documentary research was conducted by collecting information from both, companies listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV, according to its initials in Spanish) companies, as well as recent publications by the business sector in Mexico. The main finding of this study shows that on average, women who make up the Board of Directors in companies listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange companies, only reaches 4-56%, additionally, of the 500 best companies to work in Mexico, only 3% arc directed by women, and, of the 50 most powerful women in Mexico, only 14% arc company executives. Which shows that despite the advances that have occurred in relation to gender equality is still difficult for women to overcome the glass ceiling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objectives of this paper are twofold: first, to show the changes in the rates of economic participation and the sectoral and occupational integration of women workers in the State of Mexico. Second, to know the strategies that women have to use in order to work in industry because of the strong work flexibility, needed. One primary concern is the changes in labor markets, such as the increase of women's participation, segmentation, and labor market flexibility. Our study conceptualizes the labor market not just in terms of "location factors", but also in terms of social construction, focusing on the construction of flexibility as well as in the strategies of female workers in the industry to cope with demands of everyday work. We suggest the importance of a proper and necessary social regulation of labor markets, including the problems facing women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper refers to the relation between migratory processes, employment and education in women of rural origin, focusing the analysis on the domestic work. The ethnographic approach that guides our investigations analyses the practices of two groups of women: one of them, resident in the north of Cordoba, whose members did not attend educative centers at the time of fieldwork in schools,' and other composed by ladies who were students of an adult educational center. In both cases the individual histories, the way they faced survival, the decision to the move to the city and how those processes articulated with educative strategies, show tensions. These tensions may appear as subjective, but on several occasions they express deep structures of the social world. We asked ourselves: How does education takes part in the configuration of these processes, both in regarding the moment of leaving the country and the decision to move, and in the later stages of settlement and stabilization in the city? What are the meanings that women give to the migratory experience and how do they tie it with their educative and labor trajectories? We will approach answers these questions in this communication, but first we will refer to our viewpoint of the migratory phenomenon and the characteristics that domestic employment assumes in the process of relocation and settlement in a new space.

The Mexican-US border represents an illustrative example of the globalization processes due to the installation of assembly plants known as maquiladoras since the late sixties. This lead to massive employment of women and with it to a slow configuration of a female proletarianization in all of Mexico, which showed a strong correlation between the transnationalization of production process and the participation of working women. This article examine the convergence between maquiladoras, jobs and female employment as a complex relation that researchers have been trying to portray for almost four decades. With this in mind this paper reviews some of the main and well known academic and institutional analysis for the last few years in Mexico. This review should help to understand the complexity of female employment studies and the need to recognize these women as a distinct gender in the working world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
