The Relationship between Women’s Employment and Divorce: An Empirical Analysis on Turkey
Abstract
The number of studies examining the relationship between women’s employment and divorce is limited in the literature. In the majority of studies on this subject and all of the studies on Turkey, female employment variable was not analyzed in detail according to marital status. In this study, unlike other studies, it is aimed to contribute to the literature by including the variable of female employment according to marital status. For this reason, relations between both married and divorced women employees and divorce in Turkey were analyzed with cointegration tests for the period 1988-2013. According to the obtained empirical results, there is no long-run relationship from the number of married women to the number of divorces (ND). On the other hand, there is a positive relationship from the number of divorces to the number of divorced employed women.
