Mulheres e a pesquisa em contabilidade no Brasil: análise das publicações em periódicos da área

Abstract

For decades, women have been leaving the role of managers of the home to assume positions in a job market hitherto dominated by men. In the accounting career it was no different, being predominated by men since its foundation. However, nowadays, more women are present in this environment, making up more than half of the vacancies in more than one thousand five hundred Accounting Sciences courses spread across Brazil. Therefore, the present study seeks to analyze the participation of women in research in Brazilian journals from 2016 to 2020. The research is characterized as descriptive, qualitative and documental analysis. For data collection, thirteen accounting journals classified from A2 to B1 were analyzed, resulting in 2,117 articles with 4,952 researchers, where 2,774 are characterized as men and 2,178 as women. Focusing more on the female gender, it appears that of these 2,178 researchers, 1,724 have their educational institutions located in the South-Southeast region, representing 79.07% of the total number of researchers analyzed. Finally, the educational institutions were verified, with the ten with the highest number of publications representing 52.96% of the total research presented by women, where only one - Universidade Federal do Ceará - is not located in the South-Southeast axis.
