The changing role of women both within family and in the labour market is one of the most crucial issues of constructing a new social policy in our century. In line with neo-liberal developments, private pension schemes have reached higher proportions in social security systems all over the world. However, it is a fact that disadvantages of women (i.e. lower level of wage, intermittent work life, and higher life expectancy) have negative consequences on private pension schemes in terms of retirement income compared with traditional pay-as-you-go systems. Turkey, in line with the current trend, introduced a privately managed individual pension scheme, the Individual Pension System in 2003. This study (conducted in 2008 - 2009), using the actual data of 102,724 participants (sampled from a total of 1,457,704) provided by the Pension Monitoring Center, examines the effects of social variables (i.e. age, occupation, province, marital status, income, social security and education) on regular contributions of individuals to the system and analyzes the gender gap by using the generalized linear model.

From gender equality to gender justice : a critical discourse analysis in terms of gender equality in Turkey
Baba, Elif; Ecevit, Fatma Yıldız; Department of Gender and Women's Studies (2019)

The study demonstrates that gender justice is designed by the neoconservative discourse to eliminate the role of gender equality on women's policies, by its distortion. Lacking a theoretical background or an effective argument, gender justice reprod...
The Moderating role of gender role attitudes on the relationship between self-compassion and body dissatisfaction
Hurşidi, Sara; Öner Özkan, Bengi; Sümer, Nebi; Department of Psychology (2019)
The present study aims to understand the moderating role of gender role attitudes on the relationship between self-compassion and body dissatisfaction. Past studies have demonstrated that compared to men, women are less satisfied with their bodies. They feel discomfort as they move away from their thin ideal. On the one hand, self-compassion is expected to have a buffering effect on body dissatisfaction through its three facets: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. On the other hand, considering...
