Las mujeres y su aporte al desarrollo local: Una mirada desde los cargos directivos

Abstract

Several studies in Latin America show that the participation of women in management positions is still scarce despite the existence of a legal framework that guarantees their participation in equal opportunities. In the province of Azuay in Ecuador exists is limited information about this topic, specifically in associative agricultural production organizations. For this reason, the present article aims to analyze the influence and explanatory capacity of the sociodemographic variable sex in the socio labor occupation of people employed in agricultural organizations. The research was carried out from a quantitative approach and the Multifactorial Agroecological Sustainability Organizational Questionnaire (MSOA), applied to its representatives, was used. The results showed that men work in positions of presidency and administration, while women do it in treasury, secretarial and accounting positions; confirming the proposed hypothesis.
