It also draws on findings from the most recent fieldwork of the 'Research on Domestic Violence against Women in Turkey'. • The findings of the study reveal that individual resources such as age, higher education, urban residence and regular employment with social security significantly increase the likelihood of women having at least one institutional or non-institutional response to IPV. • Thus, the findings of the study suggest that promoting girls' and women's access to higher education and their participation in the labor market in qualified and socially secured employment conditions is invaluable in combating IPV.

The organizational logic of workplace is reproduced through accepted but unequal policies and principles. The organizational dynamics of the gendered workplace are embedded in the articulation of global and local markets. The article elaborates on the nature of the organizational logic by focusing on the local dynamics of a Central Anatolian city, Çorum, based on a case study conducted in Turkey. We observe how capitalist organizational logic and gender subtext operate in and through the conservative culture specific to this locality. Through the interactions between employers and employees, the engagement between the capitalist organization and gender subtext constructs the realities of workplace. Workers' responses to the structural, cultural, interactional and identity dynamics of the organization are to be understood within the triangle of skill, care and honour in capitalist organizational logic. Embedded in all these responses is a specific emphasis on virtuous female worker. Such an ideal worker fits both the capitalist organizational logic and patriarchal system.

Without the assistance of children, parents in this Maya community would have to double or triple their work levels beyond observed values. Help from children enables parents to continue childbearing at times when they themselves may not have sufficient time and resources to support their family (p. 168). This finding represents a critical enhancement of our understanding of the role played by high fertility in farming communities and shows us how the timing of children’s productivity is linked to their parents’ reproductive success. Despite its emphasis on quantitative modeling and analysis of behavior, Kramer’s study does not shy away from rich ethnography. This is particularly evident in her writing at the beginning of the book, in which the historical and contemporary political economic situation of the villagers is described, and even more evocatively and poignantly in the postscript about the unfolding world of the Maya. The ethnographic material she includes on the thought processes of the villagers themselves as they weigh the work and reproductive choices facing them is lean, however, and more attention to these perspectives would further enrich the reader’s understanding of the material and ideological features of the contemporary Maya landscape. This book’s chief strengths are theoretical and methodological, and I would recommend it to scholars interested in the measurement of human behavior and those looking for good examples of a study that weaves together multiple disciplines interested in the same problem.

The invisibility of these three groups stems from their systematic, consistent and diffuse exclusion from the social, political and economic life of the country. The context of social inclusion policies for these groups in Turkey presents a challenge to assess their implications in three important respects: (I) the lack of data concerning these groups, (II) the lack of policy tools and instruments assessing the existing assistance and services for these groups, to allow comparative evaluations, and (III) general orientation of care services and policies towards families, therefore not targeting the direct correspondents of these policies. This paper outlines existing care policies for children, PWD and the elderly in Turkey, with a view to assessing their implications for promoting social inclusion, in two different aspects. While social inclusion literature is predominantly focused on the implication of social policies for the carereceivers, this paper examines the social inclusion implications of care policies also for those who are traditionally assigned the role of caregiver, namely, women. The latter dimension is a consequence of the increasing familialization of care policies in Turkey, which leads to the exclusion of women from economic and social life, thus reproducing the invisibility of these three groups while sustaining an overarching invisibility, that of women.

Study focuses on discrimination-based mobbing as a specific type of mobbing. For this purpose, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 urban, highly educated, middle-class professionals. Study shows that there are significant legal and institutional deficiencies which negatively affect struggle against mobbing and make mobbing experiences of victims harder. Furthermore, some specific forms of mobbing are experienced in Turkey, which may be called as discrimination-based mobbing. This type of mobbing is based on a visible ground, such as physical appearance, gender, religion and sect or political view. Discrimination-based mobbing may be considered as a consequence of increasing political and social polarization within society. In consequence of the study, some preventive and corrective policy recommendations were presented.
