Abstract

The phenomenon of migration is examined in the context of the reference established between capitalism and religion in this study. The theoretical basis of the study is the inequality of opportunity for some ethnic groups and Muslims in Europe. Within the scope of the study, the labor markets of England and Wales were examined as sample countries to analyze the effect of religious affiliation on employment markets. In these countries, it has been determined that the most disadvantaged religious group in terms of employment markets is Muslims. In the findings, it has been determined that there is a statistically significant difference against Muslims in terms of employment rates between Muslims and Christians in the active labor force in the relevant countries. According to another regression analysis result in the study to investigate the existence of a relationship between religious groups and wages, being Jewish has a positive effect on wages, while being Muslim has a reducing effect on wages.

Avrupa’da Göç Olgusunun İstihdam ve Etno-Din Perspektifinden Analizi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada göç olgusu, kapitalizm ve din arasında kurulan referans bağlamında incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın teorik altyapısını, Avrupa’da bazı etnik gruplara ve Müslümanlara yönelik fırsat eşitsizliği oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında, dini mensubiyetin istihdam piyasalarına olan etkisini analiz etmek üzere örnek ülkeler olarak İngiltere ve Galler işgücü piyasaları incelenmiştir. Söz konusu ülkelerde, istihdam piyasaları açısından en dezavantajlı dini grubun Müslümanlar olduğu belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgularda, ilgili ülkelerde aktif işgücünde Müslümanlar ile Hristiyanlar arasında istihdam oranları bakımından Müslümanlar aleyhine istatistikî açıdan anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada, dini gruplar ile ücret arasında bir ilişkinin varlığını araştırmak için yapılan bir diğer regresyon analizi sonucuna göre, Yahudi olmak, alınan ücret üzerinde pozitif bir etkiye sahip iken Müslüman olmak, ücreti azaltıcı bir etki yaratmaktadır.
