Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between gender equality and economic development. The relationship between gender equality and economic development was analyzed by the panel data method using 36 OECD member countries’ annual data for the period 2010-2017. Furthermore, 36 countries were divided into two groups according to income levels, and the relationship between gender equality and economic development was re-analyzed for both country groups. Empirical evidence from the models covering 36 OECD member countries suggests that as gender equality increases in education, labor force participation, and representation in parliament, the level of economic development increases. However, different results were obtained for some explanatory variables from the models in which countries were divided into two income groups.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği ve ekonomik kalkınma ilişkisinin analiz edilmesidir. Toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği ve ekonomik kalkınma ilişkisi, OECD üyesi 36 ülkenin 2010-2017 dönemine ilişkin yıllık verileri kullanılarak, panel veri yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Bunun yanında 36 ülke, gelir düzeylerine göre iki gruba ayrılarak, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği ve ekonomik kalkınma ilişkisi her iki ülke grubu için yeniden analiz edilmiştir. OECD üyesi 36 ülkeyi kapsayan modelden elde edilen ampirik bulgular; eğitimde, işgücüne katılımda ve parlamentoda temsilde toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği arttıkça ekonomik kalkınma düzeyinin arttığını göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte; ülkelerin iki gelir grubuna ayrıldığı modellerden bazı açıklayıcı değişkenler için farklı bulgular elde edilmiştir.
