Baslevent, Cem and Onaran, Ozlem (2004) The effect of export-oriented growth on female labor market outcomes in Turkey. World Development, 32 (8) . pp. 1375-1393. ISSN 0305-750X [Article] (doi:10.1016/j.worlddev.2004.02.008)

Abstract

Using data from two rounds of an official household labor force survey, this paper analyzes the impact of export-oriented growth strategy on female labor force participation and employment in urban Turkey, controlling for both supply-side and demand-side factors. While the long-term economic growth at the province level is found to have a significant positive effect on both the employment and participation of women, the impact of export-orientation is not as strong and is more pronounced in the case of nonmarried women.
