Part of the answer relies on intergenerational and interactional relations based on cultural, demographic and social norms and values as well as patriarchalism. Indeed, many changes in demand for and supply of labor have cued to efficient labor market transforms especially in the status of gender stereotypes in advanced countries. But the point is why women’s roles and statues in the labor market lag behind in distribution of resources and wages in developing countries? However, similar transformations have taken into account in Turkey in such cases. But it is understood from the aggregate data that female employment and labor force participation still need special consideration in terms of division of labor.This study looks at the relationship between female employment and economic inequality in terms of differences in demographic and social structure of the values and norms women faces in Turkey. The most affirmative way is to adopt and maintain active labor market policies for recruiting more female workers. <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Hacettepe University}
