INFORMAL EMPLOYMENT IN TURKEY
Abstract
This article examines the informal labour market in Turkey. Following an
analysis of the major causes of the informal economy and informal
(unregistered) employment, it endeavors to investigate the adverse effects of
informal employment on workers, employers and the economy in general,
together with the measures to combat its expansion as well as public policies
which should be implemented to eradicate it. In trying to shed light on the
basic reasons for the emergence of informal employment, arguments raised in
favor of its existence are also dealt with. While referring to the difficulties
encountered in the fight against informal employment, the article aims to
emphasize that its adverse consequences outweigh the possible benefits,
construed to mean that serious efforts are needed to combat unregistered
employment in Turkey.
