Student: Zakharova Elizaveta

Educational Programme: Comparative Social Research (Master)

Year of Graduation: 2018

A formation of a new progressive society using the technological achievements inevitably faces the traditional norms which are still deeply rooted in many countries including Russia. Unfortunately, the reality is that a set of social changes existing now contradicts many stable perceptions on social structure. Under this context, one of the most substantial issues which need to be considered is a gender gap among specialists in technological fields. The aim of the current study is to investigate the features of career pathways of women which have chosen IT specializations.
