Abstract(s)
A desigualdade de género constitui uma realidade presente no mercado de trabalho
da Tecnologia da Informação (TI). Apesar da presença das mulheres nessa área, é fato que
o setor é predominantemente masculino (Seabra et al., 2022).
Apesar da evolução ao longo da história, algumas perspectivas permanecem estáveis
em termos conceituais, sociais e culturais. A discussão sobre relações de género é atualmente
relevante, refletindo a persistência de preconceitos ao longo do tempo (Medeiros e Campos,
2020).
O presente estudo aborda a presença e os desafios das mulheres no mercado de
trabalho da TI, focando-se nas desigualdades de género que afetam seus percursos e
acadêmicos.
O objetivo geral é analisar o percurso escolar e profissional das mulheres em TI,
identificando os desafios que enfrentam. Os objetivos específicos incluem: compreender as
motivações para a escolha da profissão, caracterizar a trajetória académica e profissional,
analisar o processo de inserção no mercado de trabalho, identificar os desafios enfrentados
no setor e explorar as perspectivas de progressão na carreira.
A pesquisa procura responder à questão: Quais são os principais desafios enfrentados
pelas mulheres na área de TI ao longo de suas trajetórias escolares e profissionais?
O estudo empírico adota uma abordagem qualitativa. Foram realizadas entrevistas
semiestruturadas com oito mulheres atuantes na área de TI com cinco anos de experiência,
no mínimo. A amostra foi selecionada utilizando a técnica de amostragem por bola de neve.
Os dados são analisados por meio de análise de conteúdo categorial temática,
identificando padrões recorrentes nas respostas das entrevistadas.
O estudo revela que as mulheres enfrentam desafios significativos tanto na formação
académica quanto na inserção no mercado de trabalho de TI, como discriminação de género,
dificuldades de progressão e conciliação entre vida pessoal e profissional. Identificou-se uma
visão otimista em relação ao futuro, com oportunidades crescentes em áreas de liderança e
desenvolvimento. Persistem barreiras, especialmente em cargos técnicos e de liderança, mas
algumas mulheres entrevistadas referem ter conquistado espaço em áreas criativas e de
negócios.
Gender inequality is a present reality in the Information Technology (IT) job market. Despite the presence of women in this area, it is a fact that the sector is predominantly male (Seabra et al., 2022). Despite evolution throughout history, some perspectives remain stable in conceptual, social and cultural terms. The discussion about gender relations is relevant today, reflecting the persistence of prejudices over time (Medeiros e Campos, 2020). This study addresses the presence and challenges of women in the Information Technology (IT) job market, focusing on gender inequalities that affect their careers and academics. The general objective is to analyze the educational and professional trajectory of women in IT, identifying the challenges they face. The specific objectives include: understanding the motivations for choosing the profession, characterizing the academic and professional trajectory, analyzing the process of entering the job market, identifying the challenges faced in the sector and exploring the prospects for career progression. The research seeks to answer the question: What are the main challenges faced by women in the IT area throughout their school and professional careers? The empirical study adopts a qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with eight women working in the IT area with at least five years of experience. The sample was selected using snowball sampling technique. The data is analyzed through thematic categorical content analysis, identifying recurring patterns in the interviewees' responses. The study reveals that women face significant challenges both in academic training and in entering the IT job market, such as gender discrimination, difficulties in progression and reconciling personal and professional lives. An optimistic vision for the future was identified, with growing opportunities in areas of leadership and development. Barriers persist, especially in technical and leadership roles, but some women interviewed report having gained ground in creative and business areas.
