Abstract: A kyelken N. Infrastructure development and employment: the case of Turkey, Regional Studies . This study illustrates the interaction effects between human capital and transport infrastructure by taking into account the gender differences and the roles of socio-cultural factors on employment in Turkey. It is shown that a considerable part of the variation in paid employment is at a regional scale and that significant associations exist between the interaction effects of education and transport infrastructure and paid employment. Although the role of regional context is roughly comparable for men and women, there are gender differences in the associations between socio-cultural and physical characteristics and employment.
