flag Türkiye’s fashion factories show a 15.6%–17.4% gender pay gap due to structural barriers, not unequal pay for equal work.

flag A new report released on February 12, 2026, by Global Fashion Agenda reveals a gender pay gap of 15.6% to 17.4% in Türkiye’s fashion manufacturing sector, exceeding the EU average. flag The disparity arises from structural factors like occupational segregation, limited career advancement, unequal training access, and unequal care burdens, not unequal pay for equal work. flag Despite economic challenges, most factories maintain formal employment and labor standards. flag The report urges expanded childcare support, better pay data, fair purchasing practices, and investments in women’s leadership to improve equity, retention, and compliance with EU regulations.
