ABSTRACT
The demographic transition in women has a positive role in enhancing women’s position in the society. The consequences of the demographic transition for women resulted in more women in the labor force and more educated women in society. However, Turkey still has a long way to go in approaching the level of most developed countries. All the statistics reveal that Turkey still seems as a male-dominant society. Analysis related to women in labor force and social life is essential indicators for the development of integrated strategies to promote nationwide fundamental principles. Turkey needs to set policies and strategy and then monitor the progress toward goals and to adjust policies where needed. In this chapter, we examine labor force and social life of women in Turkey.
