Gender equality is a core development
objective in its own right, and it is also a
smartdevelopment policy. Gender equality is also a key
pathway to ensure lasting poverty reductionand shared
prosperity. Identifying the main gender gaps a country faces
across differentdomains, contributes to better inform policy
design. To that effect, this report seeks to identifywhere
progress has been achieved with regard to increasing
opportunities for women and menin Turkey and where further
policy action is required. It focuses on three areas that
are criticalfor gender-equal access to opportunities, namely
endowments such as health and education;economic
opportunities, such as access to labor, land and financial
markets; and agency,including norms, representation, and
freedom from violence. The report takes advantage of
different sources of publicly available data for the
country, including the World Bank’s World Development
Indicators (WDI), the Global Financial Inclusion (FINDEX)
Database, the Business Environment and Enterprise
Performance Survey (BEEPS), the World Health Organization
(WHO) Statistics, as well as data from the Organization for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and others.
National surveys by the Turkish Statistical Institute
include the Income and Living Conditions Survey (SILC) 2015,
the Turkish Labor Force Survey (LFS) 2016 and the Household
Budget Survey (HBS). In addition, the Ministry of Family and
Social Policies (MoFSP) and Hacettepe University Institute
of Population Studies conducted the National Research on
Domestic Violence against Women in Turkey. The Turkish
Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS) collected by the
Ministry of Development (MoD) and Hacettepe University
Institute of Population Studies, and the Research on Family
Structure in Turkey (TAYA) by MoFSP were also used. The
report aims to provide a panorama of the prevailing gender
gaps and areas for work to close those gaps in the country,
covering a wide range of outcomes. |
