A qualitative analysis of the impacts of social protection reforms, especially pensions, in Turkey on the gender equality and gender pay gap on in pensions and on the labour market.
|
|
It finds that, while policy efforts are made in the Turkish system to strive toward gender 'neutralization' in law, the gender-blindness of the implementations obstructs genuine equality.
|
|
The social security system still excludes the majority of women, especially those who are seen as dependents of their husbands or fathers (especially house-wives).
|
|
Aside from lower access, women's generally lower wages and shorter paid work lives also lower benefits, especially those from pensions.
|
|
Additionally, while men are subject to means-testing for receiving widowers' entitlements and only receive survivor's benefits until age 18,
|
|
women receive the entitlement until they start working, or are married ---
|
|
another factor which may contribute to a skewed female labour market participation rate.
