abstract: 'In the last two decades Turkey has been reforming its pension system in
line with the EU initiatives and the requirements of the neo-liberal
model with the discourse of ensuring the proper functioning of the
social security system and its fiscal sustainability. The neo-liberal
emphasis on efficiency and sustainability of the system has been
questioned for its hindering impacts on the main functions of a pension
system, namely the provision of income security and welfare in old age,
and income redistribution among different and vulnerable groups of
population. It is against this background that, the alarmingly low
female labor force participation (FLFP), significant size of informal
employment with a high ratio of female workers, and the increasing
domination of familial ideology at the societal and policymaking levels
require the analysis of the reforms in terms of their impacts on gender
inequality in the country. Therefore, this paper attempts a preliminary
analysis of both public and private pension schemes from a gender
equality perspective. The paper argues that since the pension system in
Turkey is based on a male-breadwinner model where women are defined
extensively as dependents, the reforms, by being blind to the existing
form of gender inequality inherent to the system, vitiate the possible
positive impacts of the reforms for women. It is this paper''s contention
that unless specific measurements that positively discriminate women and
foster FLFP are taken, the gender blind approach of the current pension
reform might have detrimental impacts on the well-being of women in the
long run. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
