Toplumda Oluşan Yeni Bir Bilgi Çağlayanı Cinsiyete Dayalı Ücret Farkının Daralmasının Nedenlerinden Biri Olabilir Mi?

Year 2021, Volume: 2 Issue: 69, 1181 - 1200, 01.01.2021

Abstract

Mikro bir sorun olarak algılanan cinsiyete dayalı ücret farkı, günümüzde ülkelerin sürdürülebilir büyüme ve kalkınma hedefleri için oldukça önemli bir konu haline gelmiştir. Ancak devletlerin, kurum veya kuruluşların ulusal ve uluslararası yürütmüş oldukları politikalar, faaliyetler ve kampanyalar problemin temeline inmediği sürece simgecilikten öteye gidememektedir. Dolayısıyla ücret farkının kalıp yargılar, normlar ve kültürler gibi gözlemlenemeyen ve açıklanamayan değişkenlerinin dikkate alınması gerekliliği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu makalede kadının emek piyasasındaki pozisyonunu olumsuz yönde etkileyen kalıp yargılar doğrultusunda alınan kararların bilgi çağlayanı modeli ile nasıl tersine çevrilebileceği araştırılmaktadır. Bilgi çağlayanı modelinden hareketle söz konusu yargıların, düşünce, karar veya eylemlerin bireylerin birbirini etkilemesi ile kuvvetlenebileceği varsayılmaktadır. Banerjii 1992 ve Bikhchandani vd. 1992 tarafından literatüre kazandırılan bu model daha önce Asoy 2018 tarafından tanımlanan hipotetik senaryoya entegre edilmektedir. Böylece emek piyasasındaki cinsiyetçi bakış açısının bilgi çağlayanı ile nasıl oluştuğu veya bunun nasıl aksi yöne çevrileceği irdelenmektedir

Could a New Information Cascade in Society Be One of the Reasons for the Narrowing of Gender Wage Gap?

Year 2021, Volume: 2 Issue: 69, 1181 - 1200, 01.01.2021

Abstract

Gender wage gap, that is perceived as a micro problem, nowadays becomes important issue for sustainable economic growth and development of countries. However, policies, activities and campaigns which are pursued by government, institutions or organizations can not go beyond tokenism as long as they don’t get eliminate root of the problem. Hence, it should be paid attention to such as stereotypes, norms and cultures which are unobservable and unexplained determinants of gender wage gap. In this study, it is researched that decisions made by stereotypes, that affect women situation in labour markets negatively, are how can be reversed by using information cascade model. By basing on the information cascade model, it is assumed that the said judgments, thoughts, decisions or actions can be strengthened by the individuals affecting each other. This model, which has been brought to the literature by Banerjee 1992 and Bikhchandani et. al. 1992 , is integrated into the game model and hypothetical scenario previously defined by Asoy 2018 . Thus, it is examined how the sexist perspective in the labor market emerges with the information cascade or can be reversed.
