Career Change Advice with Dr. Jon Tam

Bamboo Ceiling | 4 Problems 1st Generation Asian Immigrants Face at Work

Asian Americans face a bamboo ceiling in the Western workplace. The bamboo ceiling for Asian immigrants in the west is similar to the glass ceiling for ethnic minorities. However, Asian Americans face their unique stereotypes, such as implicit biases that lead to the Asian American glass ceiling. In this episode, I discuss data to support the bamboo ceiling exists, Asian stereotypes, and how this results in what Reza Hasmath calls the ethnic penalty leading to underemployment and overeducation in the West.
