CARMO, Jefferson Carriello do  and  ESPINDOLA, Helena Setsuko Del Mastro. Sexual division of labor and its relationship to science, technology and education. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2023, vol.28, n.63, pp.223-242.  Epub Aug 21, 2023. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serieestudos.v28i63.1776.

The objective of the article is to identify the relationship between science, technology, and work within the scope of the Sexual Division of Labor, highlighting the implications of this relationship for the field of work and education. The methodological procedure adopted was bibliographic, which consisted of identifying data and information based on specialized literature on theoretical concepts that report the theme. This procedure also assumed an exploratory attitude of an analytical and interpretive character. Through this procedure, it was possible to identify, in the quantitative as in the qualitative scope, a number of women on the rise in the career within science, technology, and work, but also the strong masculinization of technology courses, through the primordial principles of the sexual division of the work: the separation between work and knowledge according to sex and the hierarchy, in which the work performed mostly by men has greater social and financial appreciation.

Keywords : work; sexual division of labor; technological education.
