abstract: 'Women represent over the half of university graduates in Spain. However,
|
|
|
|
the percentage of women graduating with degrees in Computing and
|
|
|
|
Engineering drops to 23\% (European Commission. {[}2016. She figures.
|
|
|
|
Brussels: Directorate-General for Research and Innovation]). Women are a
|
|
|
|
minority in the workplace in the IT sector, despite it being one of the
|
|
|
|
most dynamic industries with a positive future outlook. Existent
|
|
|
|
literature highlights that women face a variety of barriers that can
|
|
|
|
impede their progress in the workplace, mainly related to work-life
|
|
|
|
conflicts. However, the attempts carried out thus far to improve women''s
|
|
|
|
work-life balance have had little effect in this sector, where the
|
|
|
|
numbers lag behind those of other sectors. The reasons behind those
|
|
|
|
numbers must be understood. In this sense, this study aims to gain a
|
|
|
|
deeper understanding of work/personal lives of women in IT sectors
|
|
|
|
throughout the course of their lives. The results obtained from a
|
|
|
|
tailor-made survey in Spain show that women working in IT are very
|
|
|
|
work-oriented and committed to their careers and have fewer conflicts
|
|
|
|
regarding work-life balance than was expected. It was in fact age,
|
|
|
|
income and perception of gender discrimination that stood out as
|
|
|
|
significant variables that may explain the difficulties encountered. In
|
|
|
|
light of this, flexible work policies are not enough to increase the
|
|
|
|
number of women in IT, and we suggest actions that could serve to fight
|
|
|
|
stereotypes regarding gender and age in the workplace.'
