Büyük ekonomilerin, cinsiyet eşitliği konusundaki stratejileri, küresel ekonomiyi ve küresel ekonomi ile ilişkili diğer boyutları etkileyebilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, dünyanın en büyük ekonomileri olan G7 ülkelerinin cinsiyet eşitliği performanslarının analizinin önemli olduğu düşünülebilir. Böylelikle hangi G7 ülkesinin/ülkelerinin küresel ekonomiye katkısı için cinsiyet eşitliği performansını/performanslarını artırması gerektiğinin tespiti yapılabilecektir. Bu kapsamda araştırmanın amacı, 2022 yılı için G7 ülkelerinin Küresel Cinsiyet Eşitsizliği Endeksi (Global Gender Gap Index-GGGI) bileşen verileri ile söz konusu ülkelerin cinsiyet eşitliği performansları SECA çok kriterli karar verme yöntemi (ÇKKV) ile ölçülmek olarak belirlenmiştir. Bulgular incelendiğinde, ülkelere göre GGGI bileşenlerinin önemlilik dereceleri politik güçlendirme, sağlık ve hayatta kalma, eğitim durumu ile ekonomik katılım ve fırsat olarak sıralanmıştır. Diğer bir bulguya göre ülkelerin cinsiyet eşitliği performanslarının sıralamaları ise Almanya, İngiltere, Fransa, Kanada, ABD, İtalya ve Japonya olarak belirlenmiştir. Ülkelerin ayrıca ortalama cinsiyet eşitliği performans değeri hesaplanmış ve söz konusu değerin altında performansa sahip olan ülkelerin İtalya ve Japonya olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Dolayısıyla Japonya ve İtalya’nın küresel ekonomiye katkısının daha fazla olması için cinsiyet eşitliği performansını artırması gerektirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Yöntem açısından ise ayırım ve korelâsyon analizlerine göre ülkelerin cinsiyet eşitliği performanslarının SECA yöntemi ile ölçülebileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Analysis of G7 Group Countries' Gender Equality Performance: An Application with SECA Method

Öz

The strategies of major economies regarding gender equality can influence the global economy and other dimensions associated with it. In this context, it can be argued that the analysis of gender equality performance of G7 countries, which are the largest economies in the world, is crucial. Thus, it would be possible to determine which G7 country/countries need to improve their gender equality performance to contribute more to the global economy. In this regard, the aim of the research is to measure the gender equality performances of G7 countries for the year 2022 using the Global Gender Gap Index (GGGI) component data and the SECA multi-criteria decision-making method. When the findings are examined, the importance rankings of GGGI components for countries are listed as political empowerment, health and survival, educational attainment, economic participation and opportunity. According to another finding, the rankings of countries' gender equality performances are determined as Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, the United States, Italy, and Japan. Additionally, the average gender equality performance value for countries has been calculated, and it has been found that Italy and Japan are the countries with performances below this value. Therefore, it is concluded that Japan and Italy need to improve their gender equality performance to contribute more to the global economy. From a methodological perspective, it has been concluded that countries' gender equality performances can be measured using the SECA method based on discrimination and correlation analyses.
