36314

From 1960’s, experienced developments in information and communications technologies have significantly increased the efficiency of women in the labor market. This development accelerated discussions on ensuring harmony between work and family life which constitutes an important aspect of work life balance. The complex nature of work organization and increased competition among employees caused to rise the incompatibility problem between work and family with a structure that deepens gender inequalities. For the solution of the problem, modelling studies based on shared responsibility among family, government and market made the subject become a current issue of welfare discussions. Adoption of a gender- based approach to the welfare classification discussions that speeded up since 1990’s was required due to family structure, in what way household services will be provided and to what extend the government will contribute to maintenance of the household services. This study aims to analyze the discussions of harmonization of work and family life and gender inequalities on the basis of gender- based classifications of welfare.
