The Career and Professional Challenges of Women in Jalisco (Mexico) and Quebec (Canada): Similarities and Differences
The goal of this study is to compare the factors that influence the career developments of university-educated women in Québec (Canada) and in Jalisco (Mexico). Using a qualitative approach, we found interaction effects between national, organizational, and individual factors. The career development of women is embedded within the cultural and institutional context of these respective regions and linked to individual work-family strategies. Finally, we found that despite the unique context of each place in which women work, the organizational aspects that favor women's career progression are similar in both regions.
