(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2017) Onur B. Celik; Meltem Ince-Yenilmez; Ince-Yenilmez, Meltem; Celik, Onur B.
Professional soccer is the world's most popular sport, a number of National Leagues are under the control of National Associations. The economic theory behind soccer is the continuing competition to earn much more than other sports do in the sports market. Since the supply of talent is limited teams' demand for certain professionals is so strong that it leads to salary differences between players. Therefore in this study attention is given to the determinants of the differences in workers' salaries in the Major League Soccer labor market using Generalized Least Squares (GLS) estimation on panel data from 2007 to 2016. Birth place is the most influential determinant of a player's salary along with a player's position a player's age whether the player has a national team duty and the number of games in which the player started in the first eleven. Conversely moving from one Major League Soccer team to another and the number of games played as a substitute have a negative effect on players' salaries.

The Impact of Media and Cultural Beliefs on Women's Participation in Sports in Turkey: The Challenges faced by Turkish Women in Professional Sports
(SOSYOEKONOMI SOC, 2021) Meltem Ince-Yenilmez; Ince-Yenilmez, Meltem; Yenilmez, Meltem Ince
The fight for gender equality in Turkey extends as far as the sports sector of the economy. Although Turkey has recently seen a fast rise in the participation of women in sports female athletes are still being marginalized for many reasons. The alarming levels of discrimination discourage females from entering into professional sports in Turkey and have inhibited the growth of the female sports sector in Turkey. This research aims to examine the different roles women have to take with emphasis on explaining the relationship between sports and politics in modern Turkey. The present study explores Turkish women's specific constraints and challenges in professional Sports. Qualitative data were generated from semi-structured interviews conducted with 142 female athletes (both amateur and professionals) across different cities in Turkey. The findings of the study indicate that family influence (chi = 4.39 of 5) wage inequality (chi = 4.31 of 5) media misrepresentation (chi = 4.16 of 5) inadequate sports facilities for women (chi = 4.12 of 5) and high levels of sexual harassment (chi = 3.89 of 5) are the constraints that must be addressed to improve the climate for female participation in sports significantly. The study highlights how these physical activities and sports programs play essential roles in increasing awareness of their importance and improving the overall perception of women in sports in Turkey.

The Role of Socioeconomic Factors on Women's Risk of Being Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2022) Meltem Ince-Yenilmez; Ince-Yenilmez, Meltem
The most important thing learned about intimate partner violence (IPV) over the last 20 years is that violence is gendered and can be learned after faced and can only be understood in the context of gender inequality. To promote gender equality a number of legal reforms and policies have been put in place over the last decade. The main problem is that there is relationship between all the socioeconomic and demographic factors. This begs the question does the high educational level social and economic status of a woman put her at lower risk of experiencing domestic violence? The study hypothesizes that those socioeconomic factors such as literacy political rights urbanization laws against violence the annual income of women and the number of women in the labor force can affect IPV prevalence. The study uses secondary data concerning socioeconomic factors from 26 predominantly Muslim countries in Asia-Pacific and North Africa. Findings from the study show that socioeconomic factors such as literacy political rights a higher level of urbanization and the laws against violence have significant impacts and may decrease the prevalence of IPV. However other socioeconomic factors such as the annual income of women and increased women in the labor force produced unclear results. The test for collinearity on the impacts of each socioeconomic factor against one another was found to be insignificant.

Women entrepreneurship for bridging economic gaps
(Springer International Publishing, 2021) Meltem İnce-Yenilmez; Ince-Yenilmez, Meltem
Everywhere women are forced into combative positions in a struggle for recognition not just as mothers but their willingness resilience and determination to be successful entrepreneurs. There have been different women's economic empowerment interventions but these programs are not enough to overcome the barriers in place. Still gender and entrepreneurial activities influence the growth of the economy of any nation. In reality economic development depends mainly on gender equality and female entrepreneurship. Therefore this paper thus uncovers the relationship between entrepreneurial activities by women and gender-related economic development. The aim is to investigate the relationship between the rate of female entrepreneurship and gender equality. Emerging evidence from experimental economics and psychology on leadership mindset and agency highlights the need for transformative human interventions. Therefore interventions should cover foundational needs and consider the skills social and psychological barriers stopping women from building their dreams. Randomized control trials already show that gender-based training-based and capital-based interventions can yield more remarkable outcomes. © 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
