GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TURKISH TOURISM SECTOR IN TERMS OF DECENT WORK GOALS

Abstract

This study is examined in tourism industry in the framework of decent work, which is a concept for all women and men working in equality, security, freedom and human dignity principles of honor. In this study, the people working in the tourism sector in Turkey were carried out to demonstrate that they are working properly. The structural characteristics of the tourism industry have been associated with the four goals of Decent Work. These objectives are employment goal; which is not only numerically but also high qualificated employment creation, social security goal; which is taking protection for unemployment, sickness, maternity, pregnancy and issues such as retirement age, standards and rights of employees goal; which is about the wages and working hours and the last goal is social dialogue that is about unionism and trade union rights. The research is about industry's structure and its adaptation to decent work objectives. The employment structure and job creation capacity of tourism, working standards in the industry, the existence of social protection mechanisms and social dialogue system has mentioned. Employment structure of the tourism sector does not seem compatible with decent work. Turkish tourism labour force is quantitatively effective but they are nonqualified, uneducated and unskilled, with a high informal employment rate, working in high working hours, earn low wages and in extremely low union coverage rates. It makes impossible for the protection of workers because of high informal and unregistered employment rates. High informality rate is complicating the realization of both social security and working hours and makes it impossible for improvements in wages they receive, but also leads to the emergence of low unionization rate. Seasonal tourism workers and informal workers are deprived of many rights. To solve these problems, first of all employees should be under recording, should be closely monitored by the authorities and should be encouraged unionization. Internal and external continuous training helps to improve the quality of employment. Employers and government officials must work in cooperation. If some proper measures are taken, it’s foreseen that tourism sector will correspond to decent work objectives within the scope of this inefficient employment structure.
