Equal opportunities analysis in the university: The gender perspective

Abstract:

The social systems' complexity is a consequence of the human presence. Measurements and evaluations are rather qualitative and, in many cases, heuristic and / or linguistic. Human beings are not equally treated, with a clear discrimination based on age, gender, race or culture, among many other reasons. Women discrimination is the focus of our study in this paper. The university, as a social system, is investigated. The goal is to determine the degree of gender discrimination and to provide the tools to evaluate different actions to improve the equal opportunity (EO) principle in its operation. © Springer-Verlag 2003.
