Bu çalışma, emeğin hane temelli üretimden ücret temelli endüstriyel sistemlere tarihsel evrimini araştırmakta ve modern ekonomilerde işin tanımının nasıl değiştiğini incelemektedir. Ekonomik perspektiften bakıldığında iş, piyasalarda arz ve talebe göre alınıp satılan bir mal veya hizmet olarak algılanmaktadır. Ücretli emeği vurgulayan geleneksel çalışma tanımları, ücretsiz bakım ve ev işlerinin yeterince takdir edilmediğini vurgulayan feminist bakış açıları tarafından sorgulanmaktadır. Kadınların sosyal konumları ve ekonomik güçlenmeleri, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğini destekleyen bu değersizleştirme nedeniyle kısıtlanmaktadır. Bu araştırma, İstanbul ve İzmir'de kadınların istihdamını ve işgücüne katılımını incelemek için nüfus sayımı tekniği ve kasıtlı örnekleme yöntemini kullanmaktadır. Sonuçlar, kadınların ücretli ve ücretsiz emeğinin aile geçmişi, eğitim ve mesleki ayrışma gibi sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik faktörlerden etkilendiğini göstermektedir. Bu faktörler aynı zamanda cinsiyete dayalı emek dinamiklerini de ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, emeğin yalnızca ücretli istihdamın ötesinde daha geniş bir faaliyet yelpazesini ve toplumsal faydaları içerecek şekilde yeniden tanımlanması gerektiği sonucuna varmaktadır. Değişen küresel ekonomiler bağlamında toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğini ve kadınların ekonomik olarak güçlendirilmesini ilerletmek için, işgücü tanımları ve düzenlemelerindeki toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizlikleri ele alınmalıdır.

The study explores the historical evolution of labour from household-based manufacturing to wage-based industrial systems, examining how the definition of work has changed in modern economies. From an economic perspective, work is perceived as a good or service that is traded in markets based on supply and demand. Traditional definitions of work, which emphasize wage labour, are challenged by feminist viewpoints, which emphasize the underappreciation of unpaid care and domestic work. Women's social standing and economic empowerment are restricted by this devaluation, which upholds gender inequality. To look into women's employment and labour participation in Istanbul and Izmir, Turkey, the research uses a census technique and deliberate sampling. The results show that women's paid and unpaid labour is influenced by social, cultural, and economic factors such as family history, education, and occupational segregation. These factors also reveal gendered labour dynamics. The study concludes that labour must be redefined to encompass not only paid employment but also a wider range of activities and societal benefits. To advance gender equality and women's economic empowerment in the context of changing global economies, gender inequalities in labour definitions and regulations must be addressed.
