Why is a Balanced Distribution Not Achieved?
There is a different distribution in real estate ownership between regions, depending on both regional and economic conditions. As women gain more economic freedom, it is observed that many properties are taken in their own names. In our country, the regions where this distribution is most seen are the western and southern regions. In contrast, as one goes further east, real estate ownership is more commonly seen among men.
There are various reasons for the differences in real estate ownership. The development of western regions is greater than that of eastern regions. The increase in women with professions and the change in people's lifestyles are among the reasons that lead to more real estate ownership by women in these regions. In contrast, reasons such as lower literacy rates in eastern regions and fewer working women with professions lead to deeds being more commonly held by men in these areas. Furthermore, in communities that adhere to old traditions, men are prioritized, so real estate ownership in these regions is more often given to men.
