Abstract

It is referred in the literature that terrorism increases uncertainty, and reduces expected return to investment which results in economic underdevelopment. This study aims to explore the impact of terrorism on the educational investment for female children which would increase the expected wage level. In this study, we examine empirically impacts of the terrorist attacks on the gender inequality in education at provincial level in Turkey. Estimation results indicate that terrorist attacks increase the gender inequality at high school level, but not at primary school level. According to the estimation results; terrorist attacks increase the gender gap in education at provinces that are distant to provinces where terrorist attacks frequently occurs. Additionally, estimation results indicate that increasing conservatism leads to gender gap in education, however, education, income level and immigration variables do not significantly affect the gender gap in education.

Özet

Terörizmin, belirsizlik yarattığı ve yatırımların getirisini azaltarak ekonomik gelişmeyi önlediği literatürde belirtilmiştir. Bu çalışma, kız çocuklarının beklenen ücret seviyesini artıran eğitim yatırımlarının terörizmden nasıl etkilediğini ele almaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de 80 il için terörizmin eğitimde cinsiyet eşitsizliği üzerine etkisi uygulamalı olarak incelenmiştir. Uygulama sonuçları, terörizmin eğitimde cinsiyet eşitsizliğini ilköğretim seviyesinde anlamlı bir şekilde etkilememekte, lise seviyesinde ise negatif ve anlamlı bir şekilde etkilemekte olduğunu göstermektedir. Tahmin sonuçları, terörizmin, eğitimde cinsiyet eşitsizliğini, terör bölgesine uzak ve daha az terör saldırısı yaşanan illerde daha fazla artırdığını göstermektedir. Tahmin sonuçları, daha gelenekçi değerlere sahip illerde eğitimde cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin daha fazla olduğunu ve göçün, eğitim düzeyinin ve gelir düzeyinin anlamlı bir şekilde eğitimde cinsiyet eşitsizliğini etkilemediğini işaret etmektedir.
