Note: [English Title] The Impact of the 2008 Economic Crisis on Underemployment in Turkey [English Abstract] This study is concerned about how the economic crisis influenced employment market in Turkey. The aim is to examine the outlook of the crisis as combined with underemployment. Special attention has been given to how underemployment was influenced between 2007 and 2011. The study has also observed structural changes in the employment market in Turkey. Since 2004 some indicators of the employment market started to improve but it was left to fluctuation after the crisis. Especially unemployment and part-time work have increased rapidly. The last section of the study uses a logistic regression model. Logistic regression or logit model is a non-linear regression model designed for two dependent variables. We have tried to find out what determines underemployment in Turkey. The data set of the study are the household labor force surveys for the years from 2007 to 2011, prepared by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK). The preliminary findings of our empirical study are such that women are less underemployed than men, that social security helps prevent undeemployment, that the correlation between age and underemployment is shaped like a reverse U, and that underemployment increased together with the crisis.
