| Özet |
| This study aims to analyze the determinants of gender-based working hours discrimination in the Turkish labor market with the Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition method by using the TURKSTAT Household Labour Force Survey data. The human capital variables (age group, marital status, education level, registration, working type, income, number of employees, occupation, and industry) were included in the explained part of the model; while the unexplained part of the model was labeled as discrimination. The findings of the study show that the coefficient of discrimination arising from the different treatment of women and men in the labor market is higher than the coefficient arising from human capital. It is found that the variables with the highest contribution to the coefficient of discrimination are marital status, working type, and education level, respectively. The findings show that there are differences and discrimination in working hours between women and men. Therefore, the importance of both social norms and labor market institutions in determining working hours is once again seen. |
