Women's participation in industry: an ecofeminist approach to inclusion and social justice

Abstract

The presence of women in industry is not just a matter of labor statistics: it is a reflection of a society's capacity to integrate diversity as a productive and ethical force. This article analyzes female participation in industrial spaces from an ecofeminist perspective, understanding that inclusion is not limited to occupying a job, but also to transforming power structures, reducing wage gaps, and building sustainable production models. Using a quantitative methodology with econometric models, the article explores how digitalization, female leadership, and environmental policies influence equity and industrial performance. The results show that inclusion not only benefits women but also strengthens the competitiveness and legitimacy of companies.
