Auxílio-creche: Uma análise da sua contribuição para as mães universitárias da UEMA-Campus Caxias

Abstract

This research presents an approach to the analysis of daycare assistance for mothers at UEMA Campus Caxias. Based on the trajectory and experiences of women who need to combine their studies with motherhood, it is important to analyze universities’ public policies to help these mothers. The objective of this study is to analyze the contribution of daycare assistance for mothers at UEMA Campus Caxias, identifying the benefits of the assistance for them, investigating the difficulties in accessing the assistance and understanding their perception of the assistance for their stay at the university. To achieve this objective, Bardin data analysis was carried out, using a structured questionnaire. The results revealed that the aid contributes positively to the lives of mothers, highlighting positive aspects, such as its value, and negative aspects, such as the lack of sufficient vacancies. Given the results, it can be concluded that daycare assistance is indispensable for mothers, and that it has fulfilled its objectives, emphasizing that there is more research on the matter and that it involves more actions to ensure that university mothers remain even longer.
