Abstract

Using individual-level data from Household Labor Force Surveys for the period 2009-2015, this paper examines two aspects of underemployment in Turkey. First, it examines the extent of underemployment by gender and educational attainment levels. Second, by estimating a Probit model, it investigates the determinants of underemployment for the wage and salary earners. Findings indicate that the effect of gender on the likelihood of underemployment is not statistically significant, and there is a negative association between educational attainment and the likelihood of underemployment. Within the group of higher educated individuals, there are important differences across fields of study.

Özet

Bu çalışmada 2009-2015 dönemine ait Hanehalkı İşgücü Anketleri mikro verileri kullanılarak ücretli ve maaşlı çalışanlar için eksik istihdamın belirleyicileri araştırılmıştır. Probit modeli tahminleri eğitim düzeyi ile eksik istihdamda olma ihtimali arasında ters yönlü bir ilişki olduğunu ve cinsiyetin eksik istihdamda olma ihtimali üzerindeki etkisinin istatistiki olarak anlamlı olmadığını göstermektedir. Üniversite ve üzeri eğitime sahip bireyler arasında mezun olunan bölüme göre önemli farklılıklar saptanmıştır.
