ANKARA: Women constitute half of new jobs created in Turkey in the last decade, thanks to the government’s employment mobilization program, according to Labor and Social Security Minister Julide Sarieroglu on Wednesday.

Sarieroglu told Anadolu Agency Turkey generated more than 8.6 million new jobs in the last decade.

“Nearly 4.2 million women were employed during this period. This is a unique Turkish success story,” she said, added that she aims to increase this number further.

The minister said the government had introduced an employment mobilization program in order to decrease unemployment in Turkey.
