TÜRKİYE’DE CİNSİYET EŞİTSİZLİĞİNİN EĞİTİM, EKONOMİ, POLİTİKA VE SAĞLIK BOYUTLARI İLE İNCELENMESİ

Year 2018, Issue: 16, 96 - 111, 01.05.2018

Abstract

   Cinsiyet eşitsizliği, insanlığın en önemli sorunlarından birisidir. Dünya genelinde cinsiyet eşitsizliğini
besleyen çok önemli psiko-sosyo-ekonomik-politik sebepler sözkonusudur. Bu bağlamda, toplumsal cinsiyet
eşitsizliğini etkileyen faktörleri, cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin tüm boyutlarıyla analiz etmek çok önemlidir. Bu
çalışmada, Dünya Ekonomik Forumu Küresel Cinsiyet Açığı Endeksi 2017 yılı verileri kullanılarak,
Türkiye'deki cinsiyet eşitsizliği, eğitim, ekonomi, siyaset ve sağlık boyutları ile birlikte incelenmiştir.
2017 yılı için, 144 ülke arasında Türkiye'nin küresel cinsiyet açığı sıralaması, 131'tür. 2016 yılında
0.585 olan küresel cinsiyet açığı puanı genel endeks ve alt endekslerde 2016'dan 2018'e çok hafif yükselme
göstermiştir. Türkiye için siyaset boyutunda cinsiyet eşitsizliği çok yüksek olup, cinsiyet eşitsizliği puanı da
ekonomi boyutundaki küresel endeksin ortalamasının altındadır. Öte yandan, cinsiyet eşitsizliği sağlık ve
eğitimde endeks ortalamasına çok yakındır.
Türkiye'de yüksek düzeyde gözlemlenen toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin, kadınlar ve sosyal refah için
etkin psiko-sosyo-ekonomik-politik stratejiler ve politikalarla ortadan kaldırılması hayati önem taşımaktadır.

AN ANALYSIS OF GENDER INEQUALITY WITH THE DIMENSION OF EDUCATION, ECONOMY, POLITICS AND HEALTH IN TURKEY

Year 2018, Issue: 16, 96 - 111, 01.05.2018

Abstract

Gender inequality is one of the most important problem of the humanity. There are very important
psycho-socio-economic-political reasons feeding the gender inequality across the world. In this context, it is
vital to analyze the factors affecting gender inequality with all the dimensions of gender inequality. In this study,
it is analyzed the gender inequality with the dimensions of education, economy, politics and health in Turkey by
using the results data for 2017 from the Global Gender Gap Index of World Economic Forum.
The global gender gap rank of Turkey is 131 for the year 2017 among the 144 countries. The global
gender gap score and the score of subindices of Turkey slightly increased from 2016 to 2018. For Turkey, the
gender inequality is very high in politics dimension; also gender inequality score for Turkey is below the average
of the global index in economy dimension. On the other hand, gender inequality is very close the index average
in health and education.
It is vital to eliminate high-level gender inequality in Turkey by efficient psycho-socio-economicpolitical
strategies and policies for women and social welfare.
