Abstract

We report the results of a survey applied to students and professionals in the area of physics in Brazil, pursuing to draw a portrait of the composition of this community in terms of standard social markers (i.e., age, race/ethnicity and geographical origin, gender and sexual orientation, disabilities, etc.). The main goal was to quantify the representativeness of different groups in the community and to detect motivations and difficulties encountered by each group throughout their studies and career. This survey was open to the members of the Brazilian Physics Society (SBF) from July to September 2018.
