Abstract

Ücret karşılığı çalışma, sanayi devrimi ile ivmelenmeye başlamış, neo-liberal dönemle en yüksek oranlarına ulaşmıştır. Ücretlilerin artık birçok ülkede toplumun çoğunluğunu oluşturuyor olmaları onlara dair yapılacak herhangi bir çalışmanın da toplumun genelini ilgilendirmesi açısından hayatiyet arz etmektedir. Yapılan bu çalışmada ücretler ile enflasyon arasındaki ilişkinin yönünü incelemek ve reel olarak ücretlerin geldiği noktayı tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu minvalde Türkiye’nin 1987-2018 yılları arası yıllık TÜFE ve Asgari Ücret verileri kullanılmıştır. Enflasyon ve Asgari Ücret arasındaki ilişki ARDL Sınır Testi Yaklaşımı ve ücret-fiyat sarmalının varlığı ise Toda-Yamamoto Nedensellik testleri uygulanarak tespit edilmiştir. Ekonometrik analizin sonuçlarına göre enflasyon ve asgari ücret arasında uzun dönemli ilişki tespit edilmiş, kısa dönemde ise ilişki anlamsız bulunmuştur. Buna göre uzun dönemde enflasyonda meydana gelen %1’lik bir artış asgari ücreti yaklaşık olarak %2.59 oranında artırmaktadır. Asgari ücretteki artışın enflasyon oranındaki artıştan yüksek olması, yani esneklik katsayısının 1’den büyük olması asgari ücretin reel olarak artışını ifade etmektedir. TodaYamamoto Nedensellik analizi sonuçlarına göre ise hem asgari ücretlerden enflasyona hem de enflasyondan asgari ücretlere doğru çift yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Bu ilişki ise Türkiye’de 1987-2018 dönemi referans aralığında ücret-fiyat sarmalının varlığına işaret etmektedir. Kriz dönemlerini takip eden yıllarda ise asgari ücretin 3.65 birim arttığı görülmüştür.
