abstract: 'Turkey has experienced an expansion in its higher education sector over
|
|
|
|
the last 15 years, fuelled by the cancellation of tuition fees, the
|
|
|
|
establishment of at least one public university in each city, an
|
|
|
|
increase in the number of foundation universities, and the abolition of
|
|
|
|
the headscarf ban. Within this period, women have overtaken men in terms
|
|
|
|
of higher education attainment. In this paper, we study whether this
|
|
|
|
development has gone alongside improved gender equality in the labour
|
|
|
|
force. We analyse household labour force survey data for the years 2005,
|
|
|
|
2008, 2011 and 2017 to track the changes in core SDG5-indicators for
|
|
|
|
gender equality: labour force participation, gender segregation in
|
|
|
|
employment, and the gender pay gap. Overall, we find that women with
|
|
|
|
higher education still enter the labour force at a significantly higher
|
|
|
|
rate than women without higher education. While both the occupational
|
|
|
|
gender segregation and the gender wage gap persist among graduates,
|
|
|
|
these gaps remain relatively small when compared to other countries. Our
|
|
|
|
analysis shows that higher education has contributed significantly to
|
|
|
|
the development of a somewhat more equal labour market outcomes for the
|
|
|
|
most recent cohort, despite the nuanced and entrenched gender
|
|
|
|
inequalities that are difficult to change.'
