Breaches of Gender Relations in Agricultural Cooperatives in Camagüey Municipality, Cuba
Main Article Content
Abstract
Context: Gender relations involve every human process. The creation of cooperatives in Cuba, especially in the municipality of Camagüey, is critical to dynamize the economy and promote productive techniques in the sector; the participation of men and women in this process is highly significant.
Objective: to identify manifestations of gender relations through the outcome of research conducted in two cooperatives in the municipality of Camagüey, and reduce or eradicate the existing breaches that hinder equitable, stable, and sustained development in that sector of the Cuban economy.
Methods: A methodological approach (quantitative and qualitative) was used in the research. Non-participatory observation was used as well, which enabled a comprehensive glance of this aspect, by complementing quantifiable data. The presidents of both cooperatives were interviewed, and the life records of four members (two men and two women) were written. A 21-item survey was applied under the right conditions. Every statistical analysis was made using IBN SPSS, version 23-2015.
Conclusions: This study corroborated the existence of manifestations, such as breaches in gender relations which should be addressed, and to propose actions for reduction or elimination.
