BARROS, Leonardo de Oliveira  and  CARNEIRO, Laila Leite. Vocational Guidance for Whom? Diversity in Research and a Call to Action in RBOP. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2025, vol.26, n.2, pp.267-278.  Epub Dec 08, 2025. ISSN 1984-7270.  https://doi.org/10.26707/1984-7270/2025v26n0212.

This study analyzed the diversity of participant groups in empirical research published in the Revista Brasileira de Orientação Profissional between 2003 and 2024. Through a critical literature review, data from 247 articles were extracted and examined, focusing on the sociodemographic characteristics of participants. The findings reveal low sample diversity, with a predominance of high school and university students, and scarce mention of social markers such as race, income, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability. The article concludes with a call to action to the scientific community to increase the inclusion of historically underrepresented groups and promote greater equity in the production of knowledge in career and vocational guidance.

Keywords : diversity; inclusion; vocational guidance; social justice; literature review.
