Abstract

The issue of employability is an important macroeconomic matter for today's economies. Especially, some policies aimed at increasing women's employment are being applied by many countries and various policy instruments are trying to eliminate the factors affecting women's employment. In this study investigated on women's employment is the effect and importance of divorce, which is expressed as one of the important socio-economic and cultural factors affecting women labor force participation. For this purpose, the relationships between divorce rates and female labor force participation rates were analyzed for Turkey within the content of 26 sub-regions. The findings of the study based on panel data analysis covering the period 2008-2021 presented the existence of positive and significant relationships between divorce rates and female labor force participation rates. This situation supports many studies in the literature between increasing divorce rates and women's employment. Its besides proves that the changes in the traditional social structure also support divorces and that increasing divorces force women to take more place in the labor market.
