Abstract

Several studies have been done about women participation in labour force. When the economic development aspect is considered, studying on determinants of women participation in labour force becomes more important. In this study, an approach has been taken into consideration in which demographic factors thought to affect women's labour force participation such as age, educational status and marital status were monitored. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effects of the factors mentioned previously so that the regional effects can be seen besides the general tendency in Turkey. In this context, Turkish Statistical Institute Household Labour Force Survey 2011 NUTS 1 raw micro data has been used for Binary Logistic Regression Analysis. Within the survey rural and urban segregation has been examined. Findings are thought to be a guideway for making regional policies.

    Note: [Turkish Title] Kadınların İşgücüne Katılımını Belirleyen Demografik Faktörler: Türkiye Geneli ve İBBS Bölgesel Analizi [Turkish Abstract] Kadının işgücüne katılımı ile ilgili pek çok alanda çeşitli çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Kadının işgücüne katılımının iktisadi kalkınma boyutu düşünüldüğünde kadının işgücüne katılımını belirleyen faktörlerin araştırılması önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada kadının işgücüne katılımını etkilediği düşünülen demografik faktörlerden yaşı, eğitim durumunu ve medeni durumu dikkate alan bir yaklaşım izlenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de kadının işgücüne katılımını belirleyen söz konusu faktörlerin bölgesel anlamda etkilerinin araştırılması ve böylece Türkiyedeki genel eğilimin yanı sıra bölgesel özelliklerin de analiz edilmesidir. Bu bağlamda TUİK 2011 Hanehalkı İşgücü Anketi İBBS 1 ham mikro verileri kullanılmış, İkili Lojistik Regresyon Analizi yapılmıştır. Anket dahilinde hem ülke hem de bölge bazında kır kent ayrımına gidilmiştir. Elde edilen bulguların, bölgesel politikalar üretme konusunda yol gösterici nitelikte olduğu düşünülmektedir. [Turkish Keywords] Kadının İşgücüne Katılımı, Bölgesel İktisadi Kalkınma, Lojistik Regresyon
