İktisadi Hayattaki Cinsiyet Ayrimciliği: Yöneticilik Pozisyonunda Ayrimciliğa Sebep Olan Faktörlerin Analizi

Abstract

Gender discrimination continues to exist dramatically in economic life as in all areas. Although it has been observed that inequality and discrimination has decreased in some countries and country groups from the past to the present, its persistence requires an investigation of the causes of the issue. It is seen that perceptions, various socio-economic and demographic factors are effective on discrimination, especially when going to the upper steps in working life. The aim of this study is to try to identify the factors that create gender discrimination in managerial positions in Türkiye. In this context, 2018 European Values Survey/World Values Survey Microdata has been analyzed with the probit method. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that mother education level was the most important determinant in order to ensure equality. According to this, it was determined that as the education level of the mother increased, the perception that men could be a better manager than women decreased significantly. Moreover, it was revealed that parameters such as age, individuals’ own education, marital status, size of the place of residence are other factors that reduce the aforementioned perception. No significant effect of income level was detected in the study.
