Although there is strong support for an equal division of household chores, these values are not fully reflected in daily life.

In sum, while the idea of an equal division of labor is widely accepted throughout society, domestic labor still falls largely on women's shoulders.

Yet when asked about the time they spent on housework, approximately 17% of women stated that they spent more than 30 hours per week and 19% stated that they spent 10–15 hours, while approximately 37% of men reported spending 1–3 hours and 38% reported doing no housework at all.

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.”

Ev işleri konusunda toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğine yönelik güçlü destek olsa da bu değerlerin günlük yaşama tam olarak yansımadığı görülüyor.

Özetle, toplum genelinde eşit iş bölümü düşüncesi yaygın olarak benimsenmiş olsa da ev içi emek hala büyük ölçüde kadınların omuzlarında.

Ancak katılımcılara ev işlerine ayırdıkları zaman sorulduğunda kadınların yaklaşık %17’si haftada 30 saatten fazla ve %19’u 10–15 saat ev işi yaptığını ifade ederken erkeklerin yaklaşık %37’si 1–3 saat ev işi yaptığını ve %38’i hiç ev işi yapmadığını söylüyor.

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.

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.

Our report highlights that understanding public perceptions of wildfires necessitates not only examining environmental awareness and knowledge but also social and political factors that influence the perception of disasters.

Using the Turkish Social Values Survey 2024 (TSVS), we explore people’s perceptions of the most common causes for the wildfires in Turkey and how these causes differ by gender, political party choice, and interpersonal trust.
