Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze the gender gap that exists in the field of education in the canton Samborondón, as well as the leadership of women in the educational industry, and the main difficulties they have faced throughout their careers and personal life. Analyze the situation of women in other regions. The results obtained prove inequality and social exclusion in the workplace. The final objective of this work is to identify new contributions of women in their careers in the field of entrepreneurship, innovation and technology, as well as in training processes to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women in society. A quantitative and qualitative methodology was designed where a sample of 30 people, women and men, was determined within the educational industry and its scientific contributions. The findings were that although there is a greater number of women occupying managerial positions in educational institutions, the salary received by them is lower in comparison with their male peers. In addition, it contributes that there are several groups focused on innovation, and social change led by professional women within the province of Guayas; representing an optimistic image in comparison with other provinces of Ecuador. This article shows that gender inequality is a real problem in our society and allows launching a series of recommendations and proposals to implement plans for the execution of public policies and laws in force in the official register on gender equity in employment.
