KADINLARIN İŞGÜCÜNE KATILIM ORANININ BELİRLEYİCİLERİ: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ.

Only one-quarter of Turkish women participate in the labor force, one of the lowest rates in the world. This paper looks at the relationship between female labor force participation and economic, demographic, educational and religious factors. The main finding is that Turkey actually has more women working outside of their homes than would have been expected given Turkey's circumstances. Religion seems to be less associated with low female labor force participation in Turkey than in other countries with large Muslim populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
