“Mulheres e homens, raparigas e rapazes, em toda a sua diversidade, devem ter a liberdade de expressar as suas ideias e emoções e seguir os percursos educativos e profissionais que escolherem sem restrições impostas por normas de género estereotipadas” (CIG, 2020, p. 3).
A interligação entre a contabilidade e a mulher tem sido estudada por vários autores nas últimas décadas, mas a realidade portuguesa sobre esta temática, apesar de já ter começado a ser estudada, ainda é insuficiente (Haynes, 2017).
Até à atualidade, e em pleno século XXI, continua-se a falar sobre a questão de género, e as mulheres a lutar pela igualdade de direitos, existindo muitos desafios a enfrentar (André & Feio, 1999; Ferreira, 1999; Kirkham & Loft, 1993; Lehman, 1992).
O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a participação das mulheres e dos homens na contabilidade, focando as igualdades e desigualdades a que estas estão sujeitas no mercado de trabalho, vida profissional e vida pessoal, e ainda, o de verificar se se trata de uma questão de género.
Para dar resposta ao objetivo desta investigação, pretende-se responder às seguintes questões: Ser mulher é um obstáculo à prática da contabilidade? Há igualdade de tratamento a nível pessoal e profissional entre os homens e mulheres? Estamos perante uma questão de género?
Em termos metodológicos, será efetuada uma análise qualitativa, através de uma análise documental, questionário e delineação de questões de investigação, no que respeita à perceção de homens e mulheres na contabilidade.
O tema proposto torna-se interessante e atual porque, continua a ser debatido e existe a perceção de que apesar de muito se falar e escrever sobre o assunto, a forma de agir ainda é muito redutora quanto às mulheres, e, é um tema que pode ajudar a mudar o pensamento e atitudes futuras da sociedade.
"Women and men, girls and boys, in all their diversity, should have the freedom to express their ideas and emotions and follow the educational and professional paths they choose without restrictions imposed by stereotypical gender norms" (CIG, 2020, p. 3). The interconnection between accounting and women has been studied by several authors in recent decades, but the Portuguese reality on this issue, despite having already started to be studied, is still insufficient (Haynes, 2017). Up to the present day, and in the 21st century, the gender issue is still being talked about and women are still fighting for equal rights, although there are many challenges to be faced (André & Feio, 1999; Ferreira, 1999; Kirkham & Loft, 1993; Lehman, 1992). This study aims to analyze the participation of women and men in accounting, focusing on the equalities and inequalities to which they are subjected in the labor market, professional life and personal life, and also to verify whether this is a gender issue. To answer the objective of this research, we intend to answer the following questions: Is being a woman an obstacle to the practice of accounting? Is there equal treatment at a personal and professional level between men and women? Is this a gender issue? In methodological terms, a qualitative analysis will be carried out, through a document analysis, questionnaire and delineation of research questions, regarding the perception of men and women in accounting. The proposed theme becomes interesting and current because it continues to be debated and there is the perception that despite much being said and written about the subject, the way of acting is still very reductive about women, and is a topic that can help change the thinking and future attitudes of society.
