Abstract

One of the main variables affecting the level of human capital positively is the improvements in health. The reduction in infant and under-five mortality rates and increase in life expectancy at birth are the basic indicators of improvements in health. One of the major sources of improvements in these variables is education. Theoretical literature by using various indicators shows that there is a long-term relationship between education and health levels. In this paper gender inequality in education has been used as an indicator of education. For, gender inequality in education has a potential strong effect on infant and under-five mortality rates. This paper deals with the relationship between gender inequality in education and health indicators especially for Turkey. The annual data for 1968-2006 periods were tested by Johansen Cointegration method. According to the result of empirical analysis, the effect of gender inequality in education on health is positive in the long run.

Özet

Beşeri sermaye seviyesini etkileyen temel değişkenlerden biri sağlıktaki iyileşmelerdir. Bebek ve çocuk ölüm oranlarındaki azalma ve doğumda yaşam beklentisindeki artış sağlıktaki iyileşmenin temel göstergeleridir. Bu değişkenlerdeki iyileşmenin temel kaynağı eğitimdeki iyileşmelerdir. Literatüre katkı yapan çalışmalar çeşitli göstergelerden yararlanmak suretiyle eğitim ile sağlık arasında uzun dönemde bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya koymuşlardır. Bu makalede eğitim göstergesi olarak cinsiyet eşitsizliği kullanılmıştır. Çünkü eğitimde cinsiyet eşitsizliği bebek ve beş yaş altı çocuk ölüm oranlarını güçlü oranda etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada eğitimde cinsiyet eşitsizliği ve sağlık göstergeleri arasındaki ilişki Türkiye için incelenmiştir. 1968-2006 dönemine ait yıllık veriler Johansen eş-bütünleşme yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Ampirik analiz sonuçlarına göre eğitimde cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin sağlığa etkisi uzun dönemde pozitiftir.
