    Determinants of Turkish Female Labour Force Participation: an Analysis With Manufacturing Firm-Level Data
    (Taylor & Francis, 2020-01-05) Karamollaoğlu, Nazlı; Soybilgen, Barış
    Compared to other developing countries, Turkey has a very low female labour participation rate. Previous studies usually focus on the labour supply side of female employment. Unlike the previous literature, this paper investigates firm-level determinants of female employment in manufacturing firms using a unique micro data set constructed using different sources. After controlling for geographical variation, firm, and industry-specific factors, our results show that larger firms, exporter firms, firms with higher part-time worker ratio, and foreign-owned firms have higher female employment rate whereas younger firms, firms with higher labour productivity, and firms with long working hours have lower female employment rate.
