Abstract Using large-scale data from CGSS2006 (individual volumes), this study aims to assess the "glass ceiling" effect and determining factors in career advancement among Chinese women. The results show that gender-based discrimination may well be one of the important factors that contribute inequality in career advancement between men and women in China's labour markets. The "glass ceiling" effect still exists in women's career advancement.
