ORTEGA, Andrea Fuentes; ORTEGA, Edith Fuentes  e  ORTEGA, Elisa Fuentes. FACTORS PREVENTING FEMALE ACADEMICS FROM OBTAINING POSTGRADUATE DEGREES. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2024, vol.54, e10605.  Epub 27-Fev-2024. ISSN 1980-5314.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1980531410605.

This study identifies the difficulties faced by female academics in obtaining postgraduate degrees. Qualitative in nature, the study collected experiences of students who do not have a postgraduate degree, through theoretical sampling and semi-structured interviews. The analysis findings point to economic difficulties in financing a postgraduate degree; the non-teaching specialization requirement, since academia is not their main source of work; motherhood and raising children, which demand greater dedication; and the limited time available. The conclusion is that these barriers could be overcome with greater support for the teaching career, since so far it is considered a professionally enriching space, but one that demands a lot of time and has little economic reward.
