“…() include tenure, age and a dummy variable for a previous unemployment spell, which they suggest will capture most of the variation in workers’ labour market attachments . While details on a person's full labour market history would be desirable, Winkler () points out that what is especially important for increasing wages is the amount of time spent with the same employer (job tenure). An advantage of the ESJS data is that, in addition to a person's job tenure (in years), it contains detailed information on a person's previous employment status (employed, unemployed, self‐employed, in education or other).…”

“…Family friendly policies, such as improved childcare provision, may go some way towards reducing the gender wage gap by making it easier to combine work and family life (Arulampalam, Booth and Bryan, ; Winkler, ; Huffman, King and Reichelt, ). However, the expected impact of policies relating to parental leave, which is disproportionately taken by women, is unclear.…”

The Gender Wage Gap in Europe: Job Preferences, Gender Convergence and Distributional Effects

The gender wage gap has declined over time. However, most of the remaining gap is unexplained, partly because of gender convergence in wage-determining characteristics. In this paper, we show the degree of convergence differs substantially across Europe. In some countries, predominantly in Eastern Europe, the gender wage gap is entirely unexplained. However, in other countries, differences between the characteristics of men and women explain a relatively large proportion of the wage gap. Gender differences in job preferences contribute 10% to the wage gap, which is more than job tenure, previous employment status or field of study. The role of job preferences is particularly strong at the top of the wage distribution.Bulletin

“…According to him, a woman's primary consideration to participate in the work activities is a familial-cultural orientation with a specific economic structure (business sector). This reality refutes the opinion that the main consideration of FLFP is welfare policy or income level [12]. Based on research data, it can be seen that the level of FLF income is still deficient [Table 1].…”

This paper aims to analyze the Female Labor Force Participation (FLFP) in North Aceh District's vocational village program. We researched four vocational villages in North Aceh, namely Ulee Madon, Pande, Alue Leuhob, and Alue Capli. Researchers obtained data through surveys and structured-interviews with parties involved in implementing the village vocational program in North Aceh. The survey results were analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. The results showed that the vocational program to increase the workforce's capacity in North Aceh District had not achieved maximum results. The vocational village program's impact has not been felt directly by women workers on improving their business field skills. Of the 76 workers and business actors who became respondents, only 39.5% positively impacted training on the quality and quantity of products, business management, marketing, and especially their income. The FLFP rate explanation will be divided into program planning, training, procurement of raw materials, production, marketing, and financial management. The results showed that the FLFP rate at each stage was still shallow. The highest level of FLFP was at the planning, training, production, and the material procurement stage, while the marketing and financial management stages were still shallow. The authors concluded that the local community's social fabric regarding women's status in the family determines the level of FLFP. For this reason, FLFP mainstreaming is required based on Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI) and local wisdom to increase the economic growth of rural communities.

“…The role of women as mothers and housewives limits their work outside of the home. According to the societies attitude towards women as Winkler (2016) states is "husband should be the breadwinner and the wife should be the homemaker". As a result, the participation of women especially in rural areas in the country's labour market is among the lowest in the world.…”

Female Employment and Care Economy in Turkey

This paper examines gender employment impact of expanding the early childhood care and preschool education (ECCPE) sector in Turkey. Underinvestment in social care thus takes its toll on the country's long-term economic potential through weakened labour force attachment, and diminished childhood development. This neglect of care economy projects reflects a gender bias in economic thinking as women are more represented in caring work. Investing in the care industries would generate increases in employment and add to growth, with a higher proportion going to women, as they would now be free to take up many of such jobs. It would also narrow the gender employment and earnings gaps. In addition, the government at various levels could start by eliminating gender bias in the laws; take necessary measures to establish, operate, and allocate funds for childcare facilities; come up with initiatives like reinstating and reviewing the laws mandating private sector employers to set up nurseries for both male and female staff and provide childcare services in the workplace.
