Türkiye'de yayım ve cinsiyet

Tarımsal üretimde kadınlar önemli roller üstlenmektedir. Araştırmalar, tarımsal yayım faaliyetlerinin büyük bir kısmının erkek yayımcılar tarafından ve erkek çiftçilere yönelik olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışmada Türkiye genelinde yürütülen iki araştırmada 1102 yayımcıdan derlenen veriler kullanılarak yayım etkinliklerinde cinsiyete göre farklılıklar incelenmiştir. Bulgulara göre, kadın yayımcıların eğitim düzeyleri daha yüksek olup, mesailerinde çiftçi eğitimine daha fazla zaman ayırmakta ve kadın çiftçilerle daha fazla iletişim kurmaktadırlar. Kadın yayımcılar verim ve üretim artışı yanında kalite iyileştirmeye yönelik çaba sarf etmektedirler. Yayım kuruluşlarında kadın yayımcıların sayılarının ve sorumluluklarının artırılması kadın çiftçilere yönelik yayım etkinliklerini ve kırsal kadının kalkınma çabalarına katılımlarını da teşvik edecektir.

Extension and gender in Turkey

Women undertake important roles in agricultural production. Researches show that extension services are predominantly conducted by the male extension agents and mostly directed towards the male farmers. In this study, the differences of extension activities according to the gender have been investigated by using the data gathered from 1102 extension agents in two researches which were carried out in Turkey. According to the findings, female extension agents have higher educational levels, spend more time for farmer training, and more frequently communicate with women farmers than their male colleagues. The female extension agents have efforts on improving the crop quality in addition to the yield and production increases. As a result of increasing on the numbers of female and their responsibilities in extension services will also encourage the activities towards female farmers and woman participation in rural development efforts.
