The purpose of this study is to examine rural to urban migration of women aged 15-49, who were interviewed in 1998 Turkey Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS 1998) and to develop a methodology for measuring and comparing convergences and divergences in the status of women according to women’s migration status by using a DHS-type quantitative data set. Findings of the study give considerable results in terms of status of women and analysis of migration flows between urban and rural (i.e. urban to urban, rural to urban, urban to rural and rural to rural). Moreover, Factor Analysis technique allows for construction of a Status of Women Index (SWI) by using interviewed women’s demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Furthermore, descriptive findings have been tested by linear regression model and similar results have been produced. According to descriptive and multivariate analyses, it is observed that rural to urban migration of women does not only shape new socio-economic conditions of women in their new destinations, but it also a significant factor affecting fertility behavior of these migrant women. As a conclusion, this study asserts that it is possible to measure migration behavior and status of women quantitatively in such demographic and health surveys, which are comparable with similar studies.
