Although, since 2001, the deep liquidity recession that followed the agrarian economy has been avoided and it appears that the wheels are in motion to ensure the constant renewal of farming processes, what is more, since joining the EU the proportion of total income in agriculture is growing, there are serious consequences to the fact that this income and the number of people living from agriculture barely makes up 40% of the income and population of the 1980s.

Bu çalışmanın konusu mevsimlik tarım işçisi kadınların göç ve çalışma deneyimleridir. Söz konusu kesim, Niğde iline ağırlıklı olarak Türkiye’nin Güneydoğu illerinden gelen kadınlar örneği üzerinden analiz edilmektedir. Çalışma üç yönlü bir amaca sahiptir: (1) göçün gerekçeleri ve göç sürecini açığa çıkarmak, (2) göçmen kadınların hane içi ve üretim alanında gerçekleşen emek sürecinin ikili doğasını ortaya koymak ve (3) göçmenlik sürecinde sosyal hayatın yeniden üretiminde hâkim olan mekanizmaları belirlemek. Çalışma Niğde ilinin Ovacık ve Konaklı kasabalarının kırsal alanlarında yürütülen derinlemesine mülakatlara dayanmaktadır. Mülakatlar 2014 yılının yaz ve bahar aylarında işçilerin geçici olarak barındığı çadırlarda, onların yaşam alanlarında yürütülmüştür. Bu makalenin ilk kısmında kadınları göçe iten gerekçeler ve göç sürecinin örgütlenmesi konuları üzerinde durulacaktır. İkinci olarak, kadınların işçileşme süreci ele alınacaktır. Son olarak ise, süreç boyunca kurulan sosyal ilişkiler incelenecektir. Araştırmanın sonuçları öncelikle kadınların işçileşmesinde temel etmenin maddi gerekçeler olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Ancak sürecin çarpıcı yönü işçileşmenin on yaşına dek inen çocuk yaştaki işçileri de kapsamasıdır. Öte yandan emek sürecinin örgütlenmesi ve sosyal ilişkilerin kurulmasında paternal otoritenin üç yönlü baskısı açığa çıkmaktadır. Bunların ilki göç sürecini örgütleyen aracılar ya da çavuşlardır. İkinci olarak geleneksel aile içi ilişkileri emek sürecine taşıyan erkekler ve son olarak kimi örneklerde görüldüğü üzere bu sürece hane içinde nezaret eden kaynanalardır.

Bu çalışma tarım alanindaki üretim sürecinin geçici bileşenleri olan emek ve sermaye arasindaki ilişkinin nasıl kurulduğunu anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu ilişkinin varsayıldığı gibi özgür emeğe ve rekabete dayalı rasyonel bir formda kurulmamışlığı, bu çalışmanın gerekliliğini açıkbir şekilde ortaya koymaktadır. Kırsal alandaki üretim biçimleri üzerinde yoğunlaşıldığında iki temel üretim biçimi üzerine odaklanılır: Kendisi için üretim ve piyasa için üretim yapan köylülük. Sahip olunan toprak, özellikle bizim çalışma alanımızdaki geçici tarım işçi-köylü hanelerini doyurmaktan ve köylünün yeniden üretimini organize edebilmekten çok uzaktır. Köylünün toprağa yatırımı, sadece niteliksel bir dönüşüm doğrumayan hane içi emek miktarına bağlı bulunmaktadır.

In the European Union, green and digital transition are being addressed through ambitious policy frameworks such as the European Green Deal and the Digital Europe Programme. Globally, efforts are coordinated through international agreements like the Paris Agreement and various UN initiatives. Both transitions offer opportunities for economic growth, improved quality of life, and enhanced sustainability. However, they also require significant investment, policy coordination, and societal adaptation to navigate successfully. In the light of the aforementioned challenges we provide four views on the problems and prospective solutions. The experts shared their knowledge during the webinar “Green and digital transition in the EU” organised under the project of Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence project “Resilient and transforming Europe” (Transform EU) on January 17, 2024 at the Poznań University of Economics and Business in Poznan. W Unii Europejskiej zielona i cyfrowa transformacja są przeprowadzane z wykorzystaniem ambitnych programów politycznych, takich jak Europejski Zielony Ład i Cyfrowa Europa. W skali globalnej wysiłki są koordynowane w ramach umów międzynarodowych, takich jak porozumienie paryskie i różne inicjatywy ONZ. Omawiane transformacje mogą przyczynić się do wzrostu gospodarczego, poprawy jakości życia i zrównoważonego rozwoju. Wymagają one jednak również znacznych inwestycji, koordynacji polityki i adaptacji społecznej, aby mogły być skutecznie przeprowadzone. W świetle tych wyzwań przedstawiamy cztery poglądy na temat problemów i potencjalnych rozwiązań. Eksperci podzielili się swoją wiedzą podczas webinarium „Green and digital transition in the EU” (Zielona i cyfrowa transformacja w UE) zorganizowanego w ramach projektu Centrum Doskonałości Jeana Monneta „Resilient and transforming Europe” (Transform EU) w dniu 17 stycznia 2024 r. na Uniwersytecie Ekonomicznym w Poznaniu.
