The book chapter entitled “Determinations and Recommendations for Increasing Women Employment in Turkey: An Economical and Financial Discussion”, of which Assoc. Prof. Cevdet KIZIL is one of the authors, has been published as a chapter of the book Research and Evaluations in Social, Administrative and Educational Sciences.
In the study, the authors emphasized that despite the incentives and laws enacted, female labor force participation has still not reached the level it deserves. According to the authors, the fact that women constantly encounter obstacles in business life has made it difficult for her to gain a place in business life throughout history. In this context, they drew attention to the importance of the 1975 International Women’s Conference and the 1979 Convention on the Abolition of All Discrimination against Women.
In the study, the authors drew attention to the importance of the initiatives for the education of women at the end of the 19th century and the increase in the rights granted to women in the first years of the republic, emphasizing that the same speed could not be achieved in the following years. With a focus on the importance of education in women’s employment, they stated that the backwardness of women in the field of education also causes them to fall behind in working life. On the other hand, they noted that the laws aimed at reducing socioeconomic inequalities are not clear and sufficient, underlining that the legal framework should be more understandable and eliminate discrimination in order for women to take part more actively in business life.
