    El presente trabajo examina la situación actual de mujeres que han accedido a los más altos niveles de decisión en distintas empresas en la Argentina, analizando y comparando además las tendencias de su participación en la actividad económica del país y de la región. Se describen sus trayectorias de carrera, sus condiciones de trabajo, la compatibilización de roles y el nivel educativo alcanzado, identificando tipologías de carrera de acuerdo con las tendencias observadas. Junto con el análisis de datos a nivel nacional, se compararon algunas variables relacionadas con el desarrollo de carrera de mujeres ejecutivas en diferentes países de América Latina, de acuerdo a la información obtenida en el estudio realizado para el Proyecto MEPLA3. La comparación está dirigida a detectar semejanzas y diferencias entre los dos universos analizados y las tendencias registradas en investigaciones internacionales. El estudio utilizó una metodología cuali-cuantitativa y el análisis está basado en los resultados obtenidos de las entrevistas aplicadas a 20 mujeres.AbstractThis paper examines the present situation of women who are at the highest levels of decsion making in some companies in Argentina.
