Abstract

Economic inequality is a global phenomenon with all-encompassingimplications. While inequality affects both men and women, due to thesocially ascribed gender roles and expectations women are more proneto experience disparities. Based on a narrative review, the aim of thisarticle is to provide a primer on four selected theories related to genderbased economic inequalities. The first section provides a brief overviewof a) sexual division of labor b) the nimble fingers theory c) glass walland glass ceiling effects and d) female-headed households and thefeminization of poverty. The final section demonstrates the implicationsof these paradoxical economic phenomena in the Turkish context. Thearticle explains how women from diverse socio-economic backgroundsare prone to labor market inequalities because of the intricate natureof structural biases. A plethora of literature is available on the Turkishcontext, highlighting the nuances of economic participation. Thepresent article complements the existing body of literature, however, itadds a new dimension by offering the theoretical underpinnings behindthe economic inequalities endured by Turkish women. Future researchcould explore the empirical evidence on the dynamics of economicdisparity while considering the theoretical concepts discussed in thisarticle.

Özet

Ekonomik eşitsizlik, her şeyi kapsayan sonuçların içeren küresel bir olgudur. Eşitsizlik hem erkekleri hem de kadınları etkilerken, toplumsal olarak atfedilen cinsiyet rolleri ve beklentileri nedeniyle kadınlar eşitsizlikleri yaşamaya daha yatkındır. Bir anlatı incelemesine dayaran, bu makalenin amacı toplumsal cinsiyet temelli ekonomik eşitsizliklerle ilgili olarak seçilen dört teori üzerine bir primer sağlamaktır. İlk bölüm a) cinsel işbölümü hakkında kısa bir genel bakışı b) çevik parmak teorisi c) cam duvar ve cam tavan etkileri ve d) evin reisi kadin olan haneleri ve yoksulluğun kadınlaştırılması. Son bölüm, bu paradoksalekonomik olayların Türkiye bağlamındaki etkilerini göstermektedir. Makale, farklı sosyo-ekonomik geçmişe sahip kadınların yapısal önyargıların karmaşık yapısı nedeniyle nasıl işgücü piyasası eşitsizliğine eğilimli olduğunu açıklamaktadır. Türkiye bağlamında ekonomik katılımın nüanslarını vurgulayan bir literatür bolluğu mevcuttur. Bu makale, mevcut literatürü tamamlar, ancak, Türk kadınlarının katlandığı ekonomik eşitsizliklerin ardındaki kuramsal temeli sunarak yeni bir boyut ekler. Gelecekteki araştırmalar, bu makalede açıklanan teorik kavramları göz önüne alarak, ekonomik eşitsizlik dinamikleri üzerine ampirik kanıtlar keşfedebilir.
