| Özet |
| Gender inequality has always tended to be disadvantageous for women in countries of the world. UNDP has developed gender-based indices to measure every aspects of this inequality and issued the rates of countries. In this study the first ranking and last ranking countries in terms of index values in 2003, and Turkey are compared. The correlation between GDI and GEM index values and components of these indices with respect to each of the countries are evaluated with Pearsons correlation coefficient. It has been found that there is a strong positive correlation between GDI and male real GDP per capita in Turkey, there is a positive correlation between all components and GDI in Norway, and in Niger, there is a positive correlation between GDI and female and male life expectancies. GEM indicates that in Turkey there is a positive correlation between GDI and women’s share of administrative positions, and of professional and technical workers; in Iceland and Yemen there is a positive correlation between GEM and each of the components. Accordingly, it has been emphasized that some other factors (such as differences between rural and urban conditions or other factors) have to be differentiated while calculating GDI and GEM values. Therefore, it can be said that gender inequalities will display many disparities in various terms. |
