Partindo do cruzamento da Sociologia do Trabalho com os Estudos de Género, este
trabalho pretende contribuir para o estudo do empreendedorismo em Portugal. O
Empreendedorismo é aqui compreendido como um modo-de-estar na vida que é também fruto
de uma escolha racional do e da agente. O estudo da mulher no papel de empreendedora vem
reforçar o seu empoderamento, ou seja, a afirmação do seu papel na sociedade e nos variados
contextos da sua vida, abordagem com a qual assumidamente nos identificamos. Este trabalho
procura assim investigar o empreendedorismo de mulheres no território do Algarve de forma a
compreender os eventuais padrões que o caracterizam, as diversidades, dificuldades e
conquistas destes percursos e o contributo de cada ação individual para o desenvolvimento
local.
Utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa, mas com recurso pontual a diferentes técnicas
de recolha para potenciar a triangulação de dados, a investigação logrou encontrar perfis
fortemente marcados pela diversidade onde são irrelevantes para além do género, outras
variáveis como a idade e a nacionalidade. Os resultados sugerem uma primeira tipologia de
empreendedorismo no feminino que, sendo indissociável do contexto específico desta pesquisa,
pretende contribuir para estudos futuros sobre a temática a nível global.
Based in the fields of Sociology of Work and Gender Studies, this work aims to contribute to the study of entrepreneurship in Portugal. Entrepreneurship is understood as an attitude towards life that is also the fruit of a rational choice of the agent. The study of women in the role of entrepreneurial can reinforce their empowerment, that is, the affirmation of their role in society and in the diverse dimensions contexts of their lives, an approach with which we clearly identify. Therefore, this work seeks to investigate the entrepreneurship of women in the Algarve, to understand the patterns, diversities, difficulties and achievements of these professional paths and the contribution of each individual action to local development. Using a qualitative approach, but with a point resource to different data collection techniques, looking forward the triangulation of this issue, the research was able to find profiles strongly marked by the diversity, where, besides gender other variables revealed irrelevant like as age and nationality. The results propose a first typology of entrepreneurship in the feminine that being inseparable from the specific context of this research intends to contribute to future studies on the theme at the global level.
