CONSIDERING THE STRANDS OF DIVERSITY IN CALCULATION OF UNEMPLOYMENT RATE: AN EMERGING RESEARCH AGENDA

Öz

This research aims at demonstrating the role of diversity for increasing unemployment rate for the countries. Also, it brings a multidisciplinary perspective for the fields of management and economics. The main reason for adopting such a perspective is to create a research agenda for decreasing unemployment rate. In order to achieve the aforementioned aim, we focus on subtle factors as externalities that come from the strands of diversity. In the present study, we focus on gender, religion and age as the subtle factors that can create negative externalities and increase the calculation of the unemployment rate. Based on examining the scholarly literature, we provide evidence for the subtle factors, and we conclude our study to open a research agenda for future research.
