Boşanma İle Kadın İşgücü, Tasarruf ve Erkek İşsizliği İlişkisi: Türkiye Bulguları

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 1990-2020 yıllık verileri kullanılarak erkek işsizlik oranı, kadınların istihdama katılım oranı ve tasarrufun boşanma oranlarına etkisi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir. Serilere birim kök testleri uygulanmış, sınır testi yapılmış ve uzun dönemli ARDL eşbütünleşme testi yardımıyla katsayılar hesaplanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, kadınların işgücüne katılımındaki %1'lik bir artış boşanmayı %0,07 oranında azaltırken, tasarruftaki %1'lik bir artış boşanmayı %0,1 oranında azaltmaktadır. Erkek işsizliğindeki %1'lik artış ise boşanmaları %0.017 arttırmaktadır. İstihdam piyasası ve işsizlik ekonomik bir paradigma olarak değerlendirilse de sosyal maliyetleri açısından değerlendirildiğinde psikolojik, sosyolojik ve kültürel olarak da önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bu yönüyle işsizlik, tasarruf ve kadının istihdam piyasasındaki varlığı hanenin refahını her açıdan belirleyen önemli unsurlardır.

The Relation Between Divorce and Woman Labor Force, Savings And Male Unemployment: Evidence From Turkey

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between male unemployment rate, female participation in employment and the effects of saving on divorce rates by using annual data from 1990 to 2020. Unit root tests were applied to the series, the bound test was performed, and long-term coefficients were calculated before analyzing the relationships to be revealed with the help of the ARDL cointegration test. According to the results of the study, while a 1% increase in female labor force participation reduces divorce by 0.07%, a 1% increase in savings reduces divorce by 0.1%. The 1% increase in male unemployment increases divorces by 0.017. Although the employment market and unemployment are evaluated as an economic paradigm, they also occupy an important place psychologically, sociologically, and culturally when evaluated in terms of their social costs. In this aspect, unemployment, savings, and the existence of women in the employment market are the important factors that holistically determine the wealth the household.
