Meltem Ince Yenilmez - Böcker

Turkey has experienced growth in both the population and the workforce. However, female participation in the workforce in Turkey is extremely low, largely due to financial dependency and lack of higher education. The authors argue that greater research is needed to improve the economic position of women throughout the country, and this remains a challenge that must be fixed both culturally and socioeconomically.The book explores the significant gap between policy advancements, actual practices, and the impact of regional variety in the cultural structure. The authors suggest that this in turn has affected Turkey’s ability to implement changes and reform. Reform must allow women to pursue changes that will give them greater financial flexibility and freedom within the country. The authors demonstrate the concept and framework for women’s empowerment and explore the need for this. This book seeks to discuss the approaches and strategies for empowering women by outlining the strategies, policies and tools that women are using for their empowerment focusing on Turkey while comparing with other countries worldwide. It also brings several issues to the forefront such as equality treatment, political participation, social issues, the gender pay gap, the glass ceiling and gender (in)equality, the migration effect and education.Offering a multi-disciplinary exploration of the relationship and connection between employment, national policies, migration economies, entrepreneurialism and gender in present Turkey, this book is an invaluable contribution to the existing literature surrounding Turkish gender studies and will be of interest to both scholars and experts in the field.

This book evaluates the global labour market in the context of gender equality, and the associated policies and regulations, particularly in developing markets, to recommend measures for encouraging gender equality. It exposes the barriers that women employees encounter as well as some of the societal and workplace policies they, specifically, are subject to. Important themes within this topic include participation rates, the looming gap in hourly pay, availability of part-time and full-time positions, value, and social status associated with jobs held by men and women. The book examines how global gender policy objectives, such as gender equality in careers, gender balance in decision-making, and gender dimensions in research, can be incorporated into policy frameworks. The book analyzes the gendered nature of assumptions, processes and theories. The juxtaposition between family and work, tradition and modernity, and dependency and autonomy, clearly still seems to be misunderstood. Therefore, the book asks whether work improves women’s positions in society and/or changes their roles in their families. The authors explore and uncover the connections among employment, entrepreneurship, migration economies, and gender global labour markets and provide helpful solutions to the perceptions surrounding women’s status, risks, and inequality that limit their economic participation. This insightful read provides comprehensive details on a variety of themes and encourages further research on policies that are key to promoting gender equality. The book will appeal to postgraduate students and researchers of labour and feminist economics, the economics of gender, women’s studies and sociology.

Critics contend that identity economics overemphasizes social identities as drivers of economic activity, potentially obscuring other elements including personal preferences, incentives, and market pressures. Identity-related notions are challenging to measure and quantify meaningfully and rigorously, which is one of the most common criticisms. Identity economics has long been debated by economic scientists and practitioners, but it is still considered to be in its infancy, which also draws attention to the absence of a clear consensus and solid empirical support. This book fills that gap by providing an in-depth analysis of the main claims made in favour of identity economics.It explores the reliability of identity-based explanations, the difficulties with measurement and quantification, concerns about overgeneralization and essentialism, the function of economic institutions, policy implications, a lack of agreement and empirical evidence, and considerations of intersectionality and multidimensionality. The book considers three interrelated aims. Firstly, it familiarizes readers with the concept of Identity Economics. Secondly, and essentially, it persuades a larger audience of the relevance and creativity of this sector, and thirdly, it advocates for the applicability of the approach to the field of knowledge. The focus of the examination centres around these three objectives. Few would argue that identity impacts our decisions but given that solid theory is predicated on good abstraction, the real question is whether we lose anything by excluding identity from the theory.The book skilfully weaves together the literature from several disciplines including regional, gender, labour, social areas of studies, thus academics, students, and researchers in these fields will find the individual contributions useful for their respective areas of study.

Gendered dynamics have always been crucial in determining the experience and patterns of migration. The roles and responsibilities assigned to men and women within households and communities, created by cultural norms, social hierarchies, and economic systems, have dramatically influenced their experiences, vulnerabilities, and contributions during these movements. This book examines the intricate relationship between gender, migration, and climate change to shed light on one of the most important socioeconomic issues of the twenty-first century. It explores the gendered aspects of migration brought on by climate change, recognising the vulnerabilities, adaptability, and resilience of women, girls, and marginalised genders in the face of climate-related disruption.The book looks at how migration brought on by climate change alters the socioeconomic environments of both sending and receiving groups. It focuses on how these changes either promote or impede social fairness by differentially affecting gender roles, economic opportunities, and access to resources. It looks at how migration fuelled by climate change exacerbates already-existing gender inequities, emphasising important issues like job accessibility, household and community decision-making authority, and the uneven cost of adjusting to economic and environmental shocks. Policy frameworks and tactics targeted at fostering gender-responsive resilience and advancing climate adaptation are assessed, acknowledging the pressing need for inclusive and equitable approaches.By weaving together rigorous analysis, empirical case studies, and policy evaluation, the book encourages transformative solutions that promote equity, inclusivity, and sustainability. It invites scholars, researchers, and decision-makers to reimagine migration governance and climate adaptation strategies, ensuring that gender equity remains at the heart of global efforts to build a just and resilient future.

Labor Market Dynamics in Turkey during the Last 100 Years provides a thorough examination of the complex interactions that exist between social changes, economic policies, and the changing labor market environment in Turkey. This book draws on a wealth of historical and modern data to explore important topics including youth employment, unionization, migration, gender inequality, and the effects of economic crises. It also examines government interventions, employment package efficacy, and the complex ramifications of labor market changes, with an emphasis on the post-2008 period.

In the past few years, one of the most misunderstood concepts is income disparity. Income inequality issues are now a concern for the public. However, it was heightened by the recession in 2008-09, resulting in consequences for the corporate sector, the Occupy Wall Street movement, Covid-19 pandemic and a myriad of other events. This book analyzed how income disparity is rising with higher income distribution margins witnessed among the highest earners. This book has thirteen chapters, eliminating the introductory overview chapter, on income disparity, poverty, and economic well-being. These chapters were authored by academics who publish articles on these issues on a regular basis. The literature on these issues is substantial, and research interest in these topics has a long history. Furthermore, it is fairly unusual for academics' viewpoints on these subjects to disagree. In light of this, the subjects of the articles may best be regarded as representing the contributors' different viewpoints. Graduate students and professional researchers will also find these guides an excellent contribution to supplemental teaching in economic fields, especially labor economics, macroeconomics, and economic policies.

This book argues for the urgent need for evidence-based solutions to the climate crisis by bridging scientific progress, policy, and finance. It offers a comprehensive framework for achieving climate justice through green economics, sustainable financing, and equitable adaptation measures. Despite progress, global emissions continue to rise, and adaptation efforts remain inconsistent. The book assesses these gaps and proposes aligning economic incentives, financial instruments, and governance structures with climate goals.Addressing the unequal burden of climate change, the volume further discusses mechanisms for inclusive green finance and equitable adaptation strategies. It also examines the impact of climate change on public health, advocating for integrated frameworks that prioritize prevention and resilience. The book calls for a shift from project-based funding to portfolio-level investments in clean energy and reforestation. Combining technology, social sciences, and economics, the book promotes community-driven solutions and effective communication strategies to strenghten informed, coordinated action toward a sustainable future.

The woman's role in society has often been undervalued and relegated to the background. Even though opportunities are increasingly made available for women in society, they are still at a great disadvantage. Years of thorough research have revealed how providing increased job opportunities in the labor market is vital for developing a republic's economy. Of course, a country with very little participation of the female population in the labor market will have nothing but a stunted economic and social situation seeing that only half the population are actively contributing to its growth. In the light of the knowledge boom in this modern age, policies have to be made, and strategies are drawn to promote gender equality and provide as many opportunities for women as men in the labor market. This book focuses on the global labor market and how the present and future improvements of gender equality reflect upon it. It also contains the strategies and policies created to combat gender discrimination in the labor market to provide equal opportunities to everybody irrespective of the gender or ethnic affiliations.
