Labor Market Gender Gaps in Türkiye: A Bird’s Eye View

Silvia Domit and Damla Kesimal

No 2024/171, IMF Working Papers from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: Despite recent improvements, Türkiye’s low female labor force participation and high share of informal female workers stand out internationally. Closing these gender gaps would boost medium-term growth and make it more inclusive. This paper puts these gaps in an international context, explores their interlinkages with fiscal policies, and identifies policy priorities.
