Öz
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.
