This study examines the long-term impacts of institutional quality governance on female employment in Türkiye over the period 1996–2023. Using annual data and employing the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) method, the analysis examines how governance indicators released by the World Bank influence female labor force participation. Unit root tests confirm that all variables are stationary at their first differences, and Johansen cointegration results reveal the existence of a long-run association. Empirical findings show that while regulatory quality, rule of law, and political stability positively affect female employment, control of corruption and government effectiveness have negative long-term effects. These results highlight the importance of institutional dynamics in shaping gendered labor market outcomes.

Türkiye’de Kurumsal Kalite ve Yönetişimin Kadın İstihdamına Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışma, 1996-2023 döneminde Türkiye'de kurumsal kalite yönetişiminin kadın istihdamı üzerindeki uzun vadeli etkilerini incelemektedir. Yıllık veriler kullanılarak ve Dinamik En Küçük Kareler (EKK) Yöntemi kullanılarak yapılan analiz, Dünya Bankası tarafından yayınlanan yönetişim göstergelerinin kadın işgücüne katılımını nasıl etkilediğini incelemektedir. Birim kök testi sonuçları tüm değişkenlerin birinci farklarında durağan olduğunu doğrulamaktadır. Johansen eş bütünleşme sonuçları da uzun vadeli bir ilişkinin varlığını ortaya koymaktadır. Ampirik bulgular, düzenleyici kalite, hukukun üstünlüğü ve siyasi istikrarın kadın istihdamını olumlu etkilerken, yolsuzluğun kontrolü ve hükümet etkinliğinin olumsuz uzun vadeli etkileri olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlar, toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı işgücü piyasası sonuçlarını şekillendirmede kurumsal dinamiklerin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
