Abstract :Female employment holds significant importance in achieving sustainable economic growth. In this regard, initiatives aimed at increasing female employment are among the fundamental goals of countries. Studies on female employment are expected to assist in developing strategies and policies that guide countries in reaching their relevant objectives. This study aims to investigate the spatial interactions and determinants of female employment rates in Level-2 regions in Türkiye during the 2018-2020 period using duration variable spatial logit and duration variable spatial probit models. The analysis revealed findings indicating a positive impact on education levels and a negative impact of the Gini coefficient and the duration variable on female employment rates. The findings related to the duration variable suggest a decreasing likelihood of female employment rates being above the median value during the 2018-2020 period.
