        Summary
        The aim of this article is to investigate whether the effect of an individual’s education level on the degree of supervision his or her position holds, differs between men and women. Drawing on the human capital theory, the returns to education, the glass ceiling metaphor, and based on age and cohort effects, a multiple regression analysis was performed using data from the Dutch Labor Supply Panel. It was found that a higher education level led to a higher degree of supervision. However, gender did not seem to have a significant effect. The results did indicate that the returns to education are smaller for women than for men. For women, the effect of education was bigger for the older cohorts. This effect was not found for men. Also, in the older cohorts a significant difference was found between men and women in the effect of education on the degree of supervision.
