Abstract

ABSTRACT Southern Europe has seen remarkable turnarounds in female labour force participation (FLFP) over the past four decades. In Turkey, however, scores of women have yet to join the labour force. To address this ‘Turkish puzzle’, we present comparative data on women’s work in Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece (SE-4) and Turkey. Through Qualitative Comparative Analysis, we identify the factors behind rising FLFP in Southern Europe to explore the prospects for a steeper rise of FLFP in Turkey. We reveal two causal pathways to rising FLFP: (i) left party rule, or (ii) combinations of higher levels of take-up of early education and care, higher levels of tertiary education among women and larger size of service sector employment.

拼凑女性劳动力参与的“土耳其拼图”:来自南欧的比较见解

在过去的四十年里，南欧女性劳动力参与率(FLFP)出现了显著的转变。然而，在土耳其，许多妇女还没有加入劳动力大军。为了解决这一“土耳其之谜”，我们提供了葡萄牙、西班牙、意大利和希腊(SE-4)以及土耳其妇女工作的比较数据。通过定性比较分析，我们确定了南欧FLFP上升背后的因素，以探讨FLFP在土耳其急剧上升的前景。我们揭示了FLFP上升的两个因果途径:(i)左翼政党统治，或(ii)早期教育和护理的较高水平，妇女高等教育水平和服务业就业规模较大的组合。
