Pendidikan Akuntansi dan Perempuan: Dari Ideologi Patriarki ke Praktik Pemujaan Tubuh
Abstract: The patriarch
culture which apply to balinese society nowadays slowly fade away. Equal formal
education values between male and female indicate this degradation. Parents are
giving their daughters freedom to seek education. When related to the field of
accounting, Balinese women pay more interest compared to Balinese men. It is
well-known that accounting is considered a masculine field of study. Data
acquired from a Balinese university show that the number of female students in
the department of accounting is greater than male students. This essay attempts
to seek the reason why women choose accounting, whether there are any parental
influences or of personal desire, and whether gender ideologies have a role in
their decision.
There are a few reasons which support parental choice and balinese
women's decision. First of all, education boosts social status. Second,
accounting profession suits the women’s job. Third, short study period, smaller
investment in terms of money, and have greater job opportunity. Through D3
Accounting Educational Degree Program Balinese women gain more values, intelectually,
economically, and politically therefore having greater bargaining power towards
their environment.
