Abstract
This research is geared at exploring the
gender disparities and empowerment of women in modern day Turkey. Since the
creation of the Turkish Republic, various reforms have been put in place in a
bid to promote the cultural and socioeconomic development of women. With the
onset of these reforms, Turkey still has a major challenge, which is gender
inequality. The aim of this research is to look at the gender gap that exists
in Turkey; using women’s empowerment as a point of emphasis. This research will
study gender disparity by adopting Turkish Statistics Institute data and
applying binary logistic regression. The results gotten from this research will
show that being in labor market is crucial to the empowerment of women. This
study also reveals that women working in some job fields have a greater chance
at empowerment.

Abstract
Bu çalışma modern
Türkiye'deki giderek artan cinsiyet eşitsizliğini
ve kadınların güçlenmesini için gerekli çalışmaları araştırmaya yöneliktir.
Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin kuruluşundan bu yana, kadınların kültürel ve
sosyo-ekonomik gelişimini desteklemek amacıyla çeşitli reformlar
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu reformlara rağmen, cinsiyete dayalı eşitsizlik hala Türkiye’nin
başlıca problemlerinden birisidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, kadın
güçlendirilmesine vurgu yaparak Türkiye'de var olan toplumsal cinsiyet
eşitsizliğini incelemektir. Çalışmada, ikili lojistik regresyon ile cinsiyet
eşitsizliği incelenmektedir. Bu araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, çalışma
hayatı içerisinde yer alan kadınların önemini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışma
da ayrıca bazı iş alanlarında çalışan kadınların güçlendirilme konusunda daha
büyük bir şansa sahip olduklarını ortaya koymaktadır.
