Abstract

Unemployment is one of the most important social problems to be solved. It is seen that the implementation of active employment policies (AEP) has become the foreground in order to increase employment and to reduce unemployment worldwide. Public work programs (PWP) are also one of the active employment policies in Turkey to improve the qualifications of the workforce, increase employability and reduce unemployment. In this study, the effects of the PWP were researched on the unemployment problem, in Tokat province. The research is based on a questionnaire survey conducted by face to face interview with 283 people who participated in PWP projects implemented in Tokat center and sampling method was easily selected. According to findings, it has been determined that the effects of PWP applied to increase employment and to reduce unemployment is very weak, it is limited, it cannot reach its purpose, it has negative consequences such as substitution, carousel effects. The success of the PWP in the struggle against unemployment depends on its implementation with macroeconomic policies and other AEP practices and macroeconomic policies that will ensure that the economy create sufficiently jobs.
