Análisis de la trayectoria formativa de la mujer en las ramas industriales de Formación Profesional en Galicia y su inserción sociolaboral

Abstract

The persistence of the gender discrimination in the labour and social scene, is a reality that even persiste in several developed countries such as Spain. Such discrimination is made explicit in both horizontal and vertical levels and can be seen easily in standardized indicators quarterly offered by the epa or the ine or in more qualitative indicators that verify the persistence of such discrimination such as the social recognition of the work and career opportunities. Therefore a first assessment epa (Estadísticas de Población Activa) ine (Instituto Nacional de Estadística)of women enrolled in an advanced vocational Galician statistics in the past ten years, we see the training students chose professional families that had traditionally been performed by women, while the students chose those exercised by men. This linking professions to rose the masculine and feminine professions responds more to a historical process of socio-cultural stereotypes transmission than to a rigorous catalogue associated to one gender or another. Therefore, the object of this study consisted of analyzing paths of training and employment of women who had chosen training and work in professional sectors of industrial branches in Galicia. To run this study we used a data triangulation methodology combining qualitative and quantitative data collection instruments. As general conclusions we emphasized the little interest that thus provoke the problematic of equality as well as the little initiatives to promote equality in the formative centers and the reluctance of the enterprises to modify and/ or to eradicate the cliches and stereotypes that make difficult the attainment of a total equality, in the formative plane as in the socio-professional one.
