Abstract

The heterogeneous distribution of demographic and socio-economic factors among individuals con-stituting the workforce makes it worthwhile to investigate the effects of these factors on unemploy-ment duration. From this basis, the aim of this paper is to explain the effect of the relevant variables such as gender, marital status, being head of family, educational status and age on unemployment duration in Turkey for the period 2005-2015 by using Turkish Statistical Institute‘s Household Labor Force Survey. Cox proportional hazard model that provides flexible time dependence is applied in order to measure the effect of selected variables on unemployment spell of individuals. Our results show that unemployment duration takes longer for females and high level of education does not miti-gate the risk of unemployment. Moreover, with increasing age, employment chance is also decreas-ing.

Özet

Demografik ve sosyo-ekonomik faktörlerin iŞgücünü oluŞturan bireyler arasında heterojen dağılıma sahip olması bu faktörlerin iŞsizlik süresi üzerindeki etkisini araŞtırmaya değer kılmaktadır. Bu bağ-lamda, çalıŞmanın amacı 2005-2015 dönemi için cinsiyet, medeni durum, ailenin reisi olma, eğitim durumu ve yaŞ gibi değiŞkenlerin Türkiye'deki iŞsizlik süresine etkisini Türkiye İstatistik Enstitüsü'-nün hazırladığı Hanehalkı İŞ Gücü anketini kullanarak açıklamaktır. Seçilen değiŞkenlerin, bireylerin iŞsizlik süresi üzerindeki etkisini ölçmek için esnek zaman bağımlılığına izin veren Cox Proportional Hazard modeli kullanılmıŞtır. ÇalıŞmanın sonuçları, kadınların iŞsizlik süresinin daha uzun olduğunu ve yüksek eğitimin iŞsizlik riskini azaltmadığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca ilerleyen yaŞ ile bireylerin istihdam Şansının düŞtüğü görülmüŞtür.
