| Summary: | Based on the empirical research of a study with 401 respondents from different maritime
domains the paper identifies some causes for gender inequalities in the seafaring profession. The study
analyzes the physical and social obstacles for integrating female seafarers in the specific maritime
environment. The results of the survey confirm that men and women differ in the attitudes they have for
the working environment on a ship. The measurement scale used is reflected in the single-factor
analysis. The conclusions contribute to the development of additional training courses for maritime
universities to be prepared to give their students the necessary knowledge to reduce the gender
differences in their future work on a ship. |
