Abstract SUMMARY Genetic, physiological, and biological teatures that one has as a male or female is called gender. But the term gender expresses man and woman’s roles and responsibilities which are defined socially (Akın ve Demirel, 2003: 73). Gender term is one of the major concepts that determine woman’s importance in the society. Even if matriarchal society occured in the past, as the time passed men have begun to be active in many fields and this confined woman to indoor businesses. This situation has weakened woman’s social power gradually and become one of the reasons of woman’s being employed in businesses like housework. With the effects of Neoliberalist politics in Turkey in the year 2003, Transformation Programme in Helath has began to be applied. By this way it is aimed to make public health services attain a place in market. The health labor has been effected by this process. Insufficiancy in the number of the staff, nationwide unbalanced distribution, unbalance of expert and practician medical doctors and nurses rates are among the encountered problems. This situation together with the insufficiency in the number of the employess has brought new employment forms to the agenda (Yenimahalleli Yaşar, 2017: 124-129). With these structural alterations which has occured elderly care, which the society burdened to women, caused woman’s being employed in similar occupations. New working forms and the privatization in the health sector couldn’t keep the woman out the occupations, which they are acquainted with since the early times. Today in the private care centers, largely women employees are preffered and again women ar directed to the businesse like cleaning, washing, and ironing. This situation condemned women to bad working circumstances, imprisoning them into care sector an infertile field. Caring LAbor triggers the roles which are attributed to women in the scape of patriarch. Directly connected with the body, the caring is at the same time a confidential matter fort his reason; it is always remained limited within the family and with private field. Caring, which is seperated from the family responsibility overtime, has broken into market by concretizing. These are five different branches of caring labor in Turkey, 1)      The caring which is traditionally provided intrafamilial and with free of charge woman labor. 2)      The caring, which triggers unsecured atypic businesses, and which is provided by immigrant woman or of the record working citizens inside the house. 3)      The caring recorded but brings about unsecured atyoic affairs which is sent to houses by private companies. 4)      The caring, realized by an establishment outside the house, recorded and fulltime but unsecured. 5)      The caring, affered by a public foundation outside the house, or the caring whose service charge is provided by private foundations (Atasü Topçuoğlu, 2017: 180).
