Özet

This study aims to emphasise the importance of a skilled labor force within the context of Türkiye’s Decent Work Policy. It examines the long-term relationship between non-precarious employment and broadly defined unemployment, using quarterly data from 2009 to 2023. The long term relationship between the series, found to be stationary at the first difference, was analysed by using the Fourier-Shin cointegration test. Given the results of FMOLS, DOLS, and CCR estimators, all results were statistically significant. It was concluded that broadly defined unemployment caused a change between 0.66% and 0.69% in non-precarious employment in the long term, and the opposite effect occurred. The study’s calculation of non-precarious employment and broadly defined unemployment variables, as well as the examination of the relationship between these two variables for the first time, makes the study original.
