Elas são maioria do volume de jogadores, mas não programampor trás da baixa representatividade das mulheres na programação de jogos digitais no Brasil

Resumo

In Brazil, women are most of the population of digital game players, however, they do not have a substantial representation in the industry workforce in development and programming, a fact shared with other STEM careers. Considering this contradiction, we sought to identify which are the barriers that prevent the increased participation of female representation in the development of games in the country. The research was based on a qualitative study, with 22 women who work in this market as programmers. The results show that there are six types of barriers, beginning at the time of the choice of the course and persisting more intensely in the labor market, the main one being the lack of credibility regarding technical knowledge.
