Abstract: This paper aims at testing whether educational attainments of females beside other primary determinants have significant impacts on their participation in the labor markets across the regions of Turkey during the years 2004-2016. Even though there are certain number of empirical studies on this fact, they mostly employ time series data or micro data sets. However, very few of them stick with the regional data analysis and also do not take care of the recent developments in the empirical literature. So, the existing empirical findings do not suggest a clear evidence about the matter, particularly about the Turkish regional differences, yet. Therefore, this work exploits a panel data technique that pays attention to the recent empirical considerations. The findings suggest that, in contrary to most of the current empirical results, both the high school and the higher education graduations of females beyond the other determinants do not have significant impacts on their participation rates in the labor market across the Turkish regions in the relevant span.
