AB  - This study econometrically examines the effects of globalization on unemployment using data from OECDcountries for the period 1990–2021. Globalization is a multidimensional process that profoundly influences theemployment structure of countries through its economic, social, and political dimensions. In this study, theKOF Globalization Index is used to measure globalization, and the effects of overall, economic, and tradeglobalization levels on unemployment rates are analyzed. The empirical analysis, based on panel data andcontrol variables for the relevant period, reveals that globalization can have both positive and negative effectson unemployment. The findings confirm that the impact of globalization on employment varies depending ona country's structural characteristics, level of development, and capacity for integration
