Brief bibliographic study of the evolution of women's participation in the labor market

Abstract

The female role has undergone numerous changes over the years, paving the way for women from all over the world to enter various fields of society. For the development of this bibliographic study, a qualitative approach was adopted, seeking to substantiate the ideas shared here with authors who study the same theme. A bibliographic research was carried out, with analysis of various contributions. The general objective of this work is to perform a historical analysis of women's evolution in the labor market and the occupation of leadership positions in different sectors of society, recognizing the difficulties and obstacles in appropriating spaces that should already be shared with men equitably and mediated by mutual respect. The specific objectives related to this study are as follows: to comment on how women's achievements took place, taking into consideration that they were considered domestic beings; to discuss the modern woman, highlighting her achievements and what still needs to be conquered. Finally, the research reveals that a possible path that benefits women in general is the implementation of policies that make it possible to reconcile personal life with professional career. Understanding, necessarily, that the role of caregiver, in a society that is aging more every day, should not be exclusively attributed to women.
