Good Jobs in Turkey

This joint study, by the World Bank and
the Turkish Ministry of Development, explores the status and
effects of good jobs in Turkey s current economy. After a
brief account of economic events, it examines the
relationship between growth and employment in Turkey, with a
particular regard to the participation of different social
groups in the labor market, such as women and youth. It then
analyzes where jobs are being created and which activities
are the most productive for the Turkish economy, and
assesses if jobs have moved to more productive activities in
recent years. Finally, the report proceeds to measure the
impact of different types of jobs on the welfare of an
entire household and on the household s relative position in
the overall income distribution.
