One of the main mechanisms of development in economies is the efficient use of factors of production. In the use of labour, one of the primary production resources in economies, it can be said that there is a distribution in favour of men in many countries in terms of existing gender patterns. Women's labour remains secondary because men are central in almost all social institutions and relations, and men's leading position is also considered. Women are generally held responsible for domestic work, making them less likely to benefit from labour markets and educational opportunities than males. However, within the framework of the evolution of economic thought and development, economics emerged as a separate discipline following the Second World War. Some changes in women’s labour and pertinent views about it have occurred. The impact of women's labour on development has begun to be grasped. In all these contexts, in this study, the socio-economic and cultural advancement and turn of women’s labour concerning the evolution of economic thought and development economics are investigated, and the place and magnitude of women's labour in development are discussed.
