Mujeres directivas, espacio de poder y relaciones de género
2003
This study has two main aims, both of which are related to gender segregation in the labour market and to the "glass ceiling phenomen on". The first is to establish why women with high educational qualifications and management capabilities tend not to reach the top of the organisational pyramid. The second is to investigate whether traditional management models, that is, masculine models, are able to respond effectively to the challenges of the current labour situation. To answer these two questions we will study the obstacles that women encounter in their attempts to build professional careers, and will also analyse gender diversity and the transformational management style. The starting p…
Relazioni di genere e forme di dominio simbolico. Il caso della professione dell'assistente sociale
2019
The article highlights how the cultural models currently prevalent in some professional contexts in Italy - such as that of social workers - are still influenced by "male domination" (Bourdieu 1998). It develops a gender segregation that reproduces inequalities and asymmetries also in professional contexts traditionally female and imposes professional models based on "gender neutrality", which for the most part disregard relational and communicative skills fundamental in the care professions.
“GENDER NEUTRALITY” E “GENDER SEGREGATION” IN UNA PROFESSIONE TRADIZIONALMENTE FEMMINILE
2016
L’ingresso progressivo delle donne nel mondo del lavoro è stato accompagnato da una sostanziale “gender segregation”, che si evidenzia soprattutto in talune professioni di cura, fra cui quella dell’assistente sociale. Secondo l’autrice, non si è trattato solo, nel XX secolo, di separare foucultianamente le professioni maschili da quelle femminili, favorendo di fatto un ingresso di “genere” alle professioni, quanto di imporre un modello culturale e un habitus comportamentale “ gender neutrality” alle lavoratrici e alle professioniste. L’autrice individua una possibile causa dell’imposizione del modello “gender neutral” in un retaggio culturale “positivista e razionalista”, volto a sminuire ‒…

Gender segregation in the employment of higher education graduates
2014
This article examines the employment and placement in the working life of Finnish higher education graduates (i.e. graduates from universities and polytechnics), focusing on gender equality. It reports a study on gender segregation in higher education and working life, considered in relation to Nordic gender equality policies. The data were gathered via a questionnaire administered to graduates in business and administration (n = 1067) and in technology (n = 1087), three years after their graduation. The results showed that men were able to secure permanent and full-time employment more often than women, and men achieved better correspondence between their degree and their employment. Howev…
Korkeakoulutuksen eriytyvät työelämätulokset
2018
Tässä väitöskirjassa tarkastellaan korkeakoulutettujen tutkinnollaan saavuttamien työelämätulosten eriytymistä ja eriytymisen yhteyttä koulutusalaan sekä muihin tutkinnon suorittaneiden taustaan liittyviin tekijöihin. Näitä tekijöitä ovat sukupuoli, pohjakoulutus ja ikä. Lisäksi eriytymistä tarkastellaan työantajasektorin (julkinen/yksityinen) mukaan, joka on olennaisesti yhteydessä sekä koulutusalaan että sukupuoleen. Tutkimuksen teoreettisessa kehyksessä korkeakoulututkinto ymmärretään resurssina, joka valmistuneella on hyödynnettävissä työelämään sijoittumisessa, mutta jonka hyödynnettävyys eriytyy henkilöiden muiden ominaisuuksien mukaan. Resurssinäkökulma perustuu signaaliteoriaan, jon…
