The majority of the Turkish society supports equal division of household chores, saying that they either agree (40.9%) or strongly agree (29.5%) with the statement that “Men should share housework and childcare equally with women.”

Most people agree that women and men should share household responsibilities equally.

But is that what is actually happening at home?

Toplumun büyük çoğunluğu, “Erkekler ev ve çocuklar üzerine kadınlarla iş yükünü eşit paylaşmalıdır” ifadesine katıldığını (%40.9) veya kesinlikle katıldığını (%29.5) söyleyerek ev işlerinin eşit bir şekilde paylaşılması gerektiğini belirtiyor.

Türkiye’de toplumun büyük çoğunluğu, kadınlar ve erkeklerin ev işlerini eşit bir şekilde paylaşması gerektiğini düşünüyor.

Peki bu düşünce davranışlarına yansıyor mu?

Perceptions are affected by interpersonal trust levels, with individual carelessness most frequently cited by those with moderate trust levels, while acts of terrorism and rent-seeking purposes were mostly reported by those who have high trust and low or no trust, respectively.

The choice of political party plays a significant role in attributing causes to wildfires. Voters of AKP were the least likely to report motives related to rent-seeking, whereas constituents of the DEM party were the least inclined to attribute wildfires to acts of terrorism.

Although the majority of men and women perceive individual carelessness as the most common cause of wildfires, women are more prone to attributing them to acts of terrorism than men, whereas men tend to link them to rent-seeking purposes more than women.

While trust levels do not significantly differ by gender for the legal system, government, and political parties, women trust the police more than men.
September 11, 2025 at 2:03 PM
Trust in public institutions differs, with the police receiving the highest level of trust and the government the lowest.
