Abstract

This research aimed as the main purpose analyses the perspectives of the rural young women who studies at Fronteira Sul Federal University(UFFS) -campus Realeza-PR, in relation to their permanency in the countryside. We have as a hypothesis that the entry into University is due to the pursuit of finding a professional qualification in order to remain in the countryside. This study was made with young rural students who studies in the graduation courses offered at campus Realeza-PR. To develop the analyses, we worked with these young rural women whose identified themselves as rural women, and entered in the University during the period from 2010 to 2013, with age between 15 and 29 years old. We used as methodological proceeding, the qualitative and quantitative parameters to get information, applying surveys and interviews to the young women. To understand the reality faced by the young women interviewed, it was necessary to study the aspects about rural youth approaching, in studies of the problems faced in the farming which influences on the future plans of these rural young women. Moreover, the aspects of the patriarchy family and conflicts of generations which are present on the farming, contribute to deciding the permanence. Studies have shown that lack of autonomy to the implantation of changes in the family production unit, the economic troubles faced by farmers and the professional qualification can contribute to the future projects aimed by the young rural women, besides, they have several objectives from professional qualification, and aspects related to their familiar production unit influences their professional projects.
