Resumo

The gradual incorporation of women into higher education has not ensured a balanced presence of them in all fields of knowledge. Thus, educational spheres as much as professional ones which are related to science and technology suffer from an alarming lack of women, who tend to choose degrees with less chance of getting work. In addition, these degrees lead them to professional sectors and categories with lower pay. The present study has two global aims: first, to provide and to connect the most recent statistical data about the condition of women in the field of higher education in Galicia; second, the analysis of what are the social, economic and other kinds of conditions that lead women to make the choice of a particular degree, which in most cases is going to determine their professional future. In order to achieve the aforementioned aims, the study uses data from a survey of more than five hundred students from the three universities which are part of the Sistema Universitario de Galicia.
