CONT

Chez les Asiatiques, on parle de «plafond de bambou», qui correspond au plafond de verre pour les femmes : les Asiatiques peuvent réussir, mais lorsqu'ils atteignent un certain niveau, ils sont bloqués, parce qu'ils ne sont pas considérés comme des leaders. Ils sont perçus comme des personnes qui travaillent fort, mais en silence. On constate ici une dimension psychologique et des conséquences bien réelles.
