SUMMARY
Genetic, physiological, and biological teatures that
one has as a male or female is called gender. But the term gender expresses man
and woman’s roles and responsibilities which are defined socially (Akın ve
Demirel, 2003: 73). Gender term is one of the major concepts that determine
woman’s importance in the society. Even if matriarchal society occured in the
past, as the time passed men have begun to be active in many fields and this
confined woman to indoor businesses. This situation has weakened woman’s social
power gradually and become one of the reasons of woman’s being employed in
businesses like housework.
With the effects of Neoliberalist politics in Turkey
in the year 2003, Transformation Programme in Helath has began to be applied.
By this way it is aimed to make public health services attain a place in
market. The health labor has been effected by this process. Insufficiancy in
the number of the staff, nationwide unbalanced distribution, unbalance of
expert and practician medical doctors and nurses rates are among the
encountered problems. This situation together with the insufficiency in the
number of the employess has brought new employment forms to the agenda
(Yenimahalleli Yaşar, 2017: 124-129). With these structural alterations which
has occured elderly care, which the society burdened to women, caused woman’s
being employed in similar occupations.
New working forms and the privatization in the health
sector couldn’t keep the woman out the occupations, which they are acquainted
with since the early times. Today in the private care centers, largely women
employees are preffered and again women ar directed to the businesse like
cleaning, washing, and ironing. This situation condemned women to bad working
circumstances, imprisoning them into care sector an infertile field.
Caring LAbor triggers the roles which are attributed
to women in the scape of patriarch. Directly connected with the body, the caring
is at the same time a confidential matter fort his reason; it is always
remained limited within the family and with private field. Caring, which is
seperated from the family responsibility overtime, has broken into market by
concretizing. These are five different branches of caring labor in Turkey,
1)
The caring which is traditionally provided
intrafamilial and with free of charge woman labor.
2)
The caring, which triggers unsecured atypic
businesses, and which is provided by immigrant woman or of the record working
citizens inside the house.
3)
The caring recorded but brings about unsecured
atyoic affairs which is sent to houses by private companies.
4)
The caring, realized by an establishment outside the
house, recorded and fulltime but unsecured.
5)
The caring, affered by a public foundation outside
the house, or the caring whose service charge is provided by private
foundations (Atasü Topçuoğlu, 2017: 180).
The universe of research is composed of 188 woman
employees, who work in private caring centers in Samsun city, and the research

patient care centers, which came into prominence in Turkey, with the
