DESIGUALDAD DE GÉNERO EN EL ACCESO A LA CARRERA ADMINISTRATIVA EN COLOMBIA: RETOS, ANÁLISIS COMPARATIVO Y PROPUESTAS PARA EL CAMBIO

Abstract

The main objective of the study is to analyze the process of entering an administrative career in Colombia from a gender perspective. It seeks to understand how gender issues influence women's access and participation in the public sector, specifically in the administrative career. It delves into aspects such as the exploration of how different forms of gender violence have evolved in the workplace, particularly in the public sector. Both explicit violence (sexual harassment and direct discrimination) and structural violence that limit opportunities for women are analyzed. In addition, the factors that could be hindering women's entry into administrative careers are investigated. These factors may include biases in selection processes, cultural barriers, lack of supportive policies, and gender stereotypes, among others. As a result, there is a quantitative and comparative analysis of the Colombian public sector in relation to other Latin American countries. The idea is to examine how opportunities for women in administrative careers in Colombia compare with those in neighboring countries and what lessons could be learned from gender policies and practices in those contexts.
