Yayın Just a progressive step: women’s empowerment in Turkish microcredit practices(Universidad de Granada, 2019-12-15) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Çağlı Kaynak, Elif; Bal, EsraIn developing countries, the economic potential of women has long been under-utilized as a means of lifting households and communities out of poverty. In this respect, microcredit schemes offer an innovative form of social welfare, widely accessible to women. This study examines one such program from the Turkish context: the Maya Enterprise for Micro Finance, a conditional credit opportunity for women to start and/or develop their own businesses, granted by the Foundation for the Support of Women's Work (KEDV). Our study aimed to explore the impact of KEDV's credit transfer scheme on the lives of users, especially in terms of the psychological and economic empowerment of women. Deploying a mixed methods research strategy, we administered and analyzed quantitative surveys (n=336) in order to determine the perceptions, thoughts, insights and reactions of KEDV program users, also conducting qualitative interviews with 21 participants. Our findings indicate that the program was influential in empowering women by increasing their self-confidence and changing their relationship with other people in the household.Yayın Women's empowerment and welfare traformation in the context of microcredit in Turkey(Pressacademia, 2015-06-04) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Çağlı Kaynak, ElifGender inequalities are of the main problems in almost every society. Like all other parts of the system, economic and business environment haven't attempted sufficiently in struggling with this issue. When these inequalities combined with development problems the growth of poverty among women and their exclusion from society multiplies. Although there is so much struggle for constructing equal society women are still considered as ignorant part of the society and hence, vulnerable beings, who have to be protected and taken care of. In this sense women have not much chance for being "independent individual" both in social and economic terms. However these constraints upon women's vulnerability and inability are tried to be changed by Microfinance system to move from the perspective of women's empowerment. In this paper, we try to analyze whether the performance of practices by the non-governmental organizations ability to achieve objective to improve the living conditions and interest of the women in the society or not by comparing to micro credit organizations in Turkey. We also try to answer whether women's participation in employment contributes to well-being their lives and contributes their role in working life.Yayın Ev kadınlarında tükenmişlik ve somatizasyon: depresyonun yordayıcıları(Cyprus Mental Health Institute, 2022-03-09) Karaköse, Selin; Ulusoy, Ayşe NehirÖncül belirtilerinden biri somatik semptomlar olan depresyonun, evli ve çalışmayan kadınlarda daha yaygın görüldüğü bilinmektedir. Ev kadınlarında depresyon araştırmacıların sıklıkla üzerinde çalıştığı bir konu olsa da, alan yazına son yıllarda kazandırılan ve depresyonun yordayıcılarından biri olan tükenmişlik kavramı, somatizasyon ile birlikte henüz ev kadınlarında araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ev kadınlarında tükenmişlik ve somatizasyonun depresyon üzerindekini rolünü araştırmaktır. Kesitsel ve ilişkisel araştırma modeli ile yürütülen bu çalışmaya Türkiye’de yaşayan, evli ve çalışmayan, 20-65 yaş arasında (Ort. =41.74, SS=11.09) 388 kadın katılmıştır. Sosyo-Demografik Bilgi ve Veri Formuna ek olarak, Ev Hanımlarında Tükenmişlik Ölçeği (EHTÖ), Kısa Semptom Envanteri-Somatizasyon alt boyutu (SCL-90-SOMA) ve Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği (DASS-21)- Depresyon alt boyutunu içeren anket bataryası katılımcılara çevrimiçi olaraksunulmuştur. Hiyerarşik çoklu regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre, yaş, çocuk sayısı ve psikiyatrik tanı kontrol edildiğinde,tükenmişlik ve somatizasyon depresyonu pozitif yönde yordamaktadır. Elde edilen bu bulgular dahilinde, ev kadınlarında tükenmişliğe yönelik müdahale çalışmaları yapılmasının ve somatik belirtilerin depresyonun öncül sinyalleri olarak değerlendirilmesinin depresyonun klinik tablosu ile mücadelede yol göstereceği olacağı düşünülmektedir.Yayın Technological change and unemployment nexus from a gender perspective: empirical evidence from a panel cointegration approach(Routledge, 2022-06-27) Görkey, SeldaThis study investigates the long-run relationship between technological change and unemployment, focusing on a gender perspective in developed economies. Considering the obstacles women face in accessing labor markets, this study aims to empirically combine the technological change and unemployment nexus with a gender perspective in 20 OECD economies from 1985 to 2019 by using multifactor productivity (MFP) as a proxy for technological change. The findings from Westerlund Panel Cointegration Test and Pedroni's Panel-Dynamic Ordinary Least-Squares (PDOLS) estimator indicate the presence of a long-run relationship between MFP and unemployment rate with diversified gender effects. Even though MFP affects total and male unemployment significantly and negatively in the long run, there is no significant effect on female unemployment for the whole panel. However, the findings by economies are diversified and they indicate the presence of technological unemployment for women in some economies. Thus, the empirical results clearly show that the long-run relationship between MFP and unemployment is affected by gender differences.
