Abstract

Foreign direct investment, which is the main macro economic variable discussed in the study, is a necessary variable for the development of countries. In the countries where direct investment is realized, not only financial support is provided, but also the organization structure of R & D and the country is in question. The investor country also makes a positive contribution to the employment of the host country. Sometimes, however, an investment through the change of factories does not have any positive effect on employment. Direct investment is evaluated in terms of Turkey that the presence of foreign capital investment into the country in the first years of the Republic, although there quirement to obtain the desired result has not come to the fore. In recent years, in order to realize the investment environment, the foreign investor has achieved the environment that will carry out the activity of the loss at the minimum level and the number of foreign capital companies coming to the country has increased compared to the first periods. In this study, the effect of foreign direct investment on female employment was examined. As a result of the cointegration analysis, foreign direct investment affects employment in the short term as 0.001 and in the long term as 0.003. When FDI inflows increase, there is no visible effect in the short term, but the degree of impact increases in the long term. In the study conducted between the direct foreign capital variable and the female employment rate variable, a positive correlation was established. As a result of Granger causality test, it was concluded that FDI variable KISOR variable is Granger cause, but it is concluded that FDI variable is not Granger cause. As a result, FDI → KISOR is a one-way causality relationship.
