Özet:

Social gender has many effects on people’s lives, but one of the most important is that it is the foundation of inequality between people. The issue of gender inequality, as in many countries of the world, has been a problem that has been ongoing for years in Turkey. In addition to being a socio-cultural problem, problems arising from gender inequality in significant dimensions arise both in the economic and political arena. In particular in less developed and developing countries, the inequality phenomenon is more common in the economic field. Gender perception, which is an obstacle to women’s participation in economic life, creates a fundamental limitation to the effective use of labour and creates problems in basic macroeconomic issues such as income distribution, economic growth. In this context, when the problem of gender inequality is assessed with all its results, it is an important issue that should be emphasized not only in terms of the reduction of the figures but also in terms of the removal of a fundamental obstacle to economic development. The study aims to conduct a detailed study of the factors that prevent economic participation by movement, since women are not at the desired level in terms of economic participation. For this purpose, in the framework of women’s economic participation, Turkey has been attempted to compare both its own internal development and the other countries selected from the G20 swimming pool. For this purpose, many rates and criteria have been included in the assessment, but due to irregularities in the data that can be obtained, in some cases, the start and end values of different years have been required to be used. Despite this limitation, the work was tried to be done in the optimal way.
