WOMEN EMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC VIOLENCE FROM THE ASPECT OF SOCIAL GENDER INEQUALITY

Abstract

Through the socialization process, as a result of the roles assigned to men and women starting from the family based on the society’s traditions and social and cultural structure, the individuals internalize those roles. The gendered role assignments by the society, especially by the family, generally lead to the inequalities, which are generally against the women. Social gender inequality places men generally at the top of hierarchy as the representative of authority, while pushing women into the background and leading them to be subjected to discrimination in many domains such as education and employment. In this study, the examination of the economic violence, to which women are subjected under the effects of economic factors and which has significant reflections on the women employment in Turkey, of the social gender inequality will be performed.
