Abstract

Bu çalışmada
“endüstriyel yedek iş gücü” nde kadın istihdamının rolü 1988-2013 yılları
arasında Türkiye örneği üzerinden incelenecektir. İlişkiyi sektörel boyutta
inceleyen literatürdeki diğer çalışmaların aksine bu çalışmada öncelikle
demografik kategoriler ele alınmış, daha sonra ise yedek işgücü ordusunun
alternatif kullanımı ve Türkiye’de kadın istihdamının mevcut durumu
sunulmuştur. Çalışmada kadın istihdamının toplam istihdama göre daha dalgalı
olup olmadığını tespit etmek için Basit En Küçük Kareler Yöntemi uygulanmıştır.
Sonuçlara göre, kadın istihdamının bazı kategorileri toplam istihdamdan daha
dalgalı bulunmuş ve demografik kategoriler daha anlamlı bulunmuştur. Bu olgu
Türkiye’de kadının proleterleşmesinin önünde evlilik kurumu, yarı-zamanlı kadın
istihdamı, üretimdeki sahiplik ve düşük eğitim seviyeleri gibi güçlü temel
engeller olduğunu göstermektedir.

Female Employment as a Reserve Army of Labor: Case of Turkey, 1988-2013

Abstract

This work considers
the role of female employment in the “industrial reserve army of labor” on the
base of Turkish experience between 1988 and 2013. Unlike previous studies in
which the relationship is investigated at the sectoral level, this study
initially considers demographic categories and illustrates alternative
utilization from reserve army of labor and the current status of female
employment in Turkey accordingly. To this end, Ordinary Least Squares Method
(OLS) is employed in order to detect whether female employment has higher
volatility than total employment. According to the empirical results, some
categories of female employment are more volatile than total employment and
demographical categories are found to be more significant than production
related categories. This fact shows that there are strong fundamental obstacles
such as marriage institution, part-time female employment, ownership in
production and lower education levels, which constraint female
proletarianization in Turkey.
