In addition to improving the economic growth of a country, increasing the employment of women help the countries to meet their sustainable development goals. In our country, where women make up over half of the population, increasing women's participation in the workforce is crucial to accomplishing the stated objectives. For this purpose, it was intended to investigate the relationship between women's employment in Turkey, which varies by province, and the indicators of the province's Well-Being Life Index. A significant and positive relationship between women's employment and income and wealth, a significant and positive relationship between women's employment and education, a significant and negative relationship between women's employment and access to infrastructure services were discovered as a result of the regression analysis. It has been determined that improving income and wealth and education in the provinces have a favorable impact on women's employment in order to achieve the required levels.

TÜRKİYE'DE KADIN İSTİHDAMI VE İYİ YAŞAM ENDEKSİ

Öz

Kadın istihdamının artırılması ülkelerin ekonomik gelişmişlik düzeylerini artıracağı gibi ülkelerin sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerine ulaşılmasına da katkıda bulunmaktadır. Hemen hemen nüfusunun yarısının kadınlardan oluştuğu ülkemizde kadınların istihdama katılımının artırılması belirtilen hedeflere ulaşma konusunda oldukça önem arz etmektedir. Bu amaçla Türkiye’de il bazında farklılık gösteren kadın istihdamı ile illerin yaşam endeks göstergeleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan regresyon analizi sonucunda kadın istihdamı ile gelir ve servet arasında anlamlı ve pozitif, kadın istihdamı ile eğitim arasında anlamlı ve pozitif bir ilişki, kadın istihdamı ile altyapı hizmetlerine erişim arasında anlamlı ve negatif bir ilişki bulunmuştur. İllerde gelir ve servetin ve eğitimin iyileştirilmesinin kadın istihdamını gerekli düzeye getirebilmesi için olumlu yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir.
