ABSTRACT

The main sectors of an economy are considered to be industry, agriculture and services. The concern is how much the country transfers resources to the industrial sector. The shares that will be allocated to the industrial sector will enable the development of new technologies in the future and will increase the income and value added at a higher rate. The services and agriculture sectors do not have a great influence in today’s world economies. The gradual decline in the weight of the agriculture sector and the labor-intensive sectors over the previous centuries also brings about a change in gender employment. In the past, especially in undeveloped and developing economies, the rate of female employment has been very low but it has become a necessity today. Countries where women do not take part in employment or take a low rate cannot increase their GDP. However, developed countries have a different and more positive experience in terms of the relationship between female employment and economic growth. The increasing population among the countries over the years also brings an employment diversity problem. The decrease in employment of women under 15 years of age has been steady state since 2016. This decrease in female employment is mainly observed in developed economies; in undeveloped and developing economies this process is not very rapid. The process leading to the 2008 mortgage crisis is considered to be one of the most significant outcomes of the above-mentioned decrease in female employment. The influence of women’s employment on the economy and the increase in awareness affect the increase in wealth, the increase in the number of educated women, and even the number of healthy births, as well as the increase in production in the economy and certain sectors. The increase in women’s employment rate will enable the development of education systems in undeveloped countries as well. This also applies to vocational training.
