Abstract(s)

The present study uses a nationwide longitudinal database to analyze the Portuguese workforce searching for gender differences in promotion. The database presents longitudinal data from employees in eight different professions across the country. The research examines individual dimensions such as age, tenure and education looking for their impact over promotion and possible cumulative gender effects. Results seem to indicate considerable gender dissimilarities regarding promotion rates, consistent with previous literature, but also reports differences, namely by questioning the glass escalator effect, the impact of tenure and the influence of education over promotion. The paper contributes to the body of knowledge on gender issues and career related impacts.
