Eastern Europe has recently received much attention from scholars irrespective of diverse focus and specialization, and the special section of this distinguished journal is yet another proof that the region remains an extraordinarily interesting place for research and analysis. Scholarly interests have, however, often been related to the emergence, establishment and eventual demise of state socialism in this heterogeneous place, the horrors of World War II and the profound transformations that swept through its many old-new countries during recent decades. The predominance of political, social and intellectual history, as well as sociology and political science, and scholarly interpretations of the condition of modernity in Eastern Europe come therefore as little surprise. This methodological apparatus at hand, significant aspects of the region's development during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have sometimes been overlooked, while others appeared teleological. Within the traditions of both Western and Eastern European academia, the region has until recently been perceived as having followed a very distinct, special path to modernity characterized in a variety of ways as arrested development, Sonderweg and backwardness. At the same time, the profound change that occurred in these diverse territories as part of a European and in fact global process of modernization during the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries has often not been given its true significance in relation to its later historical development. An array of recent post-colonialist responses that have fundamentally reshaped the history of the modern ‘Third World’ have touched Eastern Europe only in passing, Hence, an occasional intellectual indecisiveness as to how to analyse the region's development in a greater historical context, as is immediately evident in the diversity of names ascribed to its supposedly different geographical areas – Eastern Europe, East Central Europe, Central Europe, Mitteleuropa and South-East Europe, to name but a few – each with their own political and ideological bias.

In this study, the participation of women in economic life, in other words their position in economic activity in Turkey was examined in comparison with the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). To examine women’s participation in economic life in Turkey in comparison with transition economies, we benefited from the Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM), which was developed by the UNDP the participation of women in economic activity in Turkey is low extremely. The factors that reduce the participation in the workforce by women in Turkey are traditional division of work, economic development, level of education, unpaid family work, informal employment, legal regulation, discrimination, work/non-work preferences. The participation of women in economic activity is also low in transition economies. But transition economies is not homogenous in terms of participation of women in economic activities. Results also indicate that, the participation of women in economic activity in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is higher than the participation of women in economic activity in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
