The situation of women in Turkish petroleum industry

Abstract

The research aims to portray the place and role of women in the Turkish petroleum industry. The research also examines the situation of white, blue, and grey-collar women workers in the Turkish petroleum industry. According to The Global Gender Gap Report 2023, women are poorly represented in Oil, Gas and Mining industries, as 22.7% of the workforce, where they account for less than one-quarter of workers. Women continue to be outnumbered by men in senior leadership positions across all industries. However, unlike other industries, this gap is one of the widest in Oil, Gas and Mining with only 18.6% the share of women in senior leadership positions. Unfortunately, there has been no major hopeful improvement in this regard over the years. Qualitative data analysis from interviews and document analysis using the “Case Study Method” (Yin, 2018) were undertaken in this paper. According to the findings of this research, support for personal development and education, implementation of mentoring and development programs, creating more flexible working conditions and comfortable working spaces can increase the number of female workers in Turkish petroleum industry.
