Economic
policies (IP) investigate solutions to various problems in the economy.
However, the effectiveness of these policies is mostly addressed in macro level
(economic growth, total employment, general price level etc.), while the
microeconomic dimension (effects on production factors, etc.) is insufficient.
The place of women's labor and women in the economy as a special production
factor should be considered within the scope of IP. The problem of efficacy of
women's labor has significant effects on socio-economic and economic-political
aspects. In this respect, in the context of gender inequality (TCE) problem, it
has the feature of both the emergence of this problem and the TCE problem.
"Gender inequality" is a
chronic crisis which have an impact in all areas of life. Overall, female labor
participation rate and wage level are low in underdeveloped economies. In
addition, opportunities for representation in education, health and political
sphere remain insufficient. In addition, low economic participation and income
asymmetry emphasize the importance of women's poverty. The problem of
efficiency in women's labor within the framework of the TCE causes deviations
from the optimum level of macroeconomic targets in an economy and affects the
socio-economic / cultural development negatively. Therefore, it is important
that economic policies are used more effectively for this problem. The aim of
the article is to explain the importance of women's labor in terms of economic
policies. First of all, the effects of gender inequality on macro /
microeconomic area will be discussed. Afterwards, the relationship of women's labor
with economic policies will be emphasized and the problem of women's labor will
be evaluated especially in the context of feminist economics.
