The phenomenon of vertical and hierarchical occupational segregation, despite attenuation within all organizations, still shows withstand within the health sector, which is apparently structured in accordance with the principles of gender equality. In the medical profession, and in it some traditionally male specialties, as well as the chief role across all specialties, significant inequalities are still present in career opportunities for men and women. The steady increase in women enrolled in the degree course in medicine and surgery and of female graduates has not eliminated the under-represented gender in certain specialties and the almost complete absence of women in chiefs roles. Through secondary data from institutional sources and interviews with female doctors from two cohorts (the pioneers and marathoners) we have investigated the constraints and opportunities for careers in health care organizations, with particular attention to for recruitment and promotion criteria and the interference effects between family and professional life.
Il fenomeno della segregazione occupazionale verticale e gerarchica, pur in attenuazione all’interno di tutte le organizzazioni, mostra ancora di resistere nell’ambito sanitario. All’interno di esso è in modo specifico la professione medica a mostrare ancora significative disuguaglianze nelle opportunità di carriera tra uomini e donne: ciò si evidenzia in fenomeni di segregazione tra specialità, e nelle carriere verticali verso il primariato, ancora prevalentemente maschile, pur a fronte di un incremento costante negli ultimi dieci anni delle laureate. Attraverso dati secondari di fonte istituzionale e interviste discorsive con mediche appartenenti a due coorti (le Pioniere e le Maratonete) sono stati indagati i vincoli e le opportunità di carriera dentro le organizzazioni sanitarie, con particolare attenzione ai criteri per reclutamento e promozioni e l’effetto dell’interferenza tra vita familiare e professionale.
