Summary of Türkiye Technical Diagnostic: Human Capital Utilization, Jobs and Equity

Context

• Türkiye has strong foundational human capital but faces gaps in inclusive labor market utilization, financial inclusion, and social services, particularly for women and vulnerable groups.
• Recent challenges include economic volatility, COVID-19, high inflation, growing informality, and the 2023 earthquakes.
• The analysis adopts a holistic framework focusing on labor, financial, and social capital dimensions to assess gender equity in jobs.

Key Labor Capital Findings

• Human Capital: Basic education outcomes show parity between genders, but higher-order skills are lagging compared to OECD countries. Vulnerable student populations, especially in rural areas, have low PISA scores.
• Labor Market: Women's labor force participation remains significantly lower than men's at 30% of employment versus 70%. Informal employment is prevalent (27% of formal jobs), with a widening gender wage gap. Women face barriers like childcare responsibilities, limited access to finance, and occupational segregation.
• Programs: Active labor market programs (ALMPs) targeting vulnerable women are expanding but need improvements in skills matching, childcare integration, and private sector partnerships.

Key Financial Capital Findings

• Financial inclusion has improved, with women's bank account ownership doubling (63% among adults), but the gender gap remains wide compared to OECD.
• Entrepreneurship: Women-owned firms account for only 2.5% of total business ownership, peaking at 4% at the provincial level. Private sector initiatives and entrepreneurship training target women but face constraints like lack of collateral and networks.
• Regulation: Reforms are needed to remove barriers for women's access to finance, such as simplifying credit requirements and promoting blended finance for women-led SMEs.

Key Social Capital Findings

• Household Roles: Women spend five times more hours on household care than men (avg. 120 hours/week), hindering labor force participation. Early childhood education coverage is limited, particularly in eastern Anatolia.
• Public Representation: Women's parliamentary representation is 17% (OECD avg. 32%), but regional disparities exist. Regional Development Agencies show modest progress (33% female staff) in inclusive development.
• E-Service Delivery: The e-METIP platform tracks seasonal agricultural workers' vulnerabilities, demonstrating potential for broader labor market monitoring and case management integration.

Annex Highlights

• International partners (EU, IFC, World Bank) funded gender-inclusive projects (34 ALMP projects, US$248.5 million total financing for women-focused projects, 30% targeted women only).
• Recommendations for enhancing e-METIP's functionality emphasize: real-time field data collection (GEMS/KoboToolbox), welfare assessment dashboards (WelTrAC framework), case management systems (CORE-MIS/Case Compass), and digital family/job cards for streamlined service delivery (Kazakhstan/India models).
• Addressing information gaps and relaxing constraints on women's employment, financial access, and early childhood education are critical leverage points for transformative inclusion.

Key Recommendations

• Scale up e-government platforms to monitor labor vulnerabilities and case management.
• Expand targeted financial inclusion and entrepreneurship programs focused on vulnerable women.
• Reinforce early childhood education access, especially in lagging regions.
• Develop integrated human capital and jobs frameworks addressing intra-regional variations.
