In this study, the problems experienced by women in working life were examined. It has been tried to obtain an overview of women on a national and regional basis by using data such as labor force statistics and education rates of TUIK. Women are seen as secondary labor force in working life. Women’s responsibilities at home, fertility, maternity, gender discrimination and negative attitude towards women’s income- generating work create obstacles to women’s labor force participation. With the participation of women in working life, their responsibilities increased. Therefore, it is necessary to share the household responsibilities with other members of the family in order to participate in the working life. Women’s susceptibility to cleaning, kitchen work, manual dexterity, experience in child care due to maternity and emotional and compassionate structure may be considered as a reason for the classification of occupations by gender. In addition, since fertility and maternity require women to take a break from working life, mothers cannot move up to an executive position and cannot be appointed as manager for decision-making mechanisms. The disadvantage of girls in education leads to lower levels of education. The low level of education leads women to work in the background, in low paid jobs, labor intensive and long-standing jobs.
