dc.description.abstract | This paper analyzes the effects of a university reform on gender gap in higher
education. It explores the university reform in Turkey over the past years as a natural
experiment. The university reform has two important features, extending the
coverage zone of the universities by constructing universities in every province, and
increasing the capacity of the existing universities. The main purpose of this reform
is to increase accession to higher education and raising qualified employees. This
paper focuses on another outcome of this reform; it examines the impacts of the
expansion of the number and capacity of the universities in order to eliminate the
barriers on the gender gap in higher education in Turkey. In order to conduct this
research, the panel data is constructed where the unit of observation is at the province
level for the period 2007-2013. | en_US |
