Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of countries’ democracy levels on the global gender gap. In this context, the Democracy Index prepared by the Economist Intelligence Unit that assesses the quality of democracy in a country and the Global Gender Gap Index published by the World Economic Forum were used to study the given relation. Moreover, the Human Development Index and the Gross Domestic Product were added as independent variables in order to increase the explanatory power of the regression model that examines the effect of the Democracy Index on the Global Gender Gap Index. The sample of the study consists of the OECD countries and the panel data set obtained for these countries covering the years between 2006 and 2018 was tested by regression analysis. As a result, it is concluded that the Democracy Index affects the Global Gender Gap Index negatively while the Human Development Index and the Gross Domestic Product affect the Global Gender Gap Index positively.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ülkelerin demokrasi seviyesinin küresel cinsiyet uçurumuna etkisini incelemektir. Bu bağlamda söz konusu ilişkiyi incelemek için The Economist Intelligence Unit tarafından hazırlanan ve bir ülkedeki demokrasinin kalitesini ölçen The Democracy endeksi ile Dünya Ekonomik Forumu tarafından yayınlanan The Global Gender Gap endeksi kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca Demokrasi Indeksinin Global Gender Gap Indexi üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen regresyon modeline modelin açıklama gücünü artırmak amacıyla Human Development Index ve Gross Domestic Product da bağımsız değişken olarak eklenerek test edilmiştir. Çalışmada örneklem olarak OECD ülkeleri ele alınmış ve bu ülkeler için 2006-2018 yılları arasında elde edilen panel veri seti regresyon analizi ile test edilmiştir. Yapılan testler sonucunda Demokrasi Indeksinin Global Gender Gap Indeksini negatif yönde etkilediği, buna karşın Human Development Index ve Gross Domestic Product’ın Global Gender Gap Indeksini pozitif yönde etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
