ABSTRACT

By investigating the implications of gendered property and labour relations in agriculture for socio-economic transformation, this article extends development theories and contributes to feminist analysis of unpaid family labour. Drawing on the case of Turkey, it demonstrates that gendered patterns of agriculture limit women’s mobility, access to education, and paid employment in non-agricultural sectors. Using the qualitative and quantitative methods, the paper finds that patriarchal property and labour relations prevent the movement of labour from agriculture to non-agricultural sectors, constrain labour supply, and increase subsistence earnings thereby putting upward pressure on urban wages.

摘要

通过调查性别化财产和农业劳动关系对社会经济转型的影响，本文扩展了发展理论，并有助于女权主义对无偿家庭劳动的分析。以土耳其为例，它表明农业的性别模式限制了妇女在非农业部门的流动性、接受教育的机会和有偿就业。通过定性和定量的方法，本文发现父权制财产和劳动关系阻碍了劳动力从农业向非农业部门的流动，限制了劳动力供给，增加了生活收入，从而对城市工资造成了上行压力。
