ARANDA, Noelia. Women participation at Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero: Characteristics of a growing feminization. Trab. soc. [online]. 2016, n.26, pp.285-298. ISSN 1514-6871.

In this paper it proposes to describe in numbers the picture that represents the participation of women within the Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero. For this it uses the analysis of statistical data in order to show a comparative scenario on the evolution of the University population by sex for the years 2000 to 2010. The study responds to the related concern with carry out a research allowing to gain insight into approximate with respect to participation women within the University, its advances and setbacks. This problem has been studied by various theories which enhance the meaning of such participation, since it is considered as a segment particularly of women who, even with certain difficulties, have managed to gain access to university education. The results show us that this University responds to trends in which manifests a continuous growth of the inclusion of women in the University area marking a high prominence and while persist differential elections marked by gender stereotypes, increasingly are more those who show preferences for areas of study which were traditionally considered as male; reached even better achievements. We have then here to establish a panoramic and critical vision in this regard, to strengthen the analysis and understanding of the issues supported the review of statistical data.
