The role of structural change in economic growth is well-documented for developed nations, yet studies on developing countries remain scarce. This study seeks to bridge this gap by exploring the influence of structural change on labor productivity in Turkey’s manufacturing sector at the 4-digit industry level from 2010 to 2015. Using microdata from the Turkish Statistical Institute's Annual Industry and Service Statistics, classified by NACE Rev.2, and covering 59214 firms, we apply the shift-share method. The results indicate that structural change exerted a drag on economic growth in this period, while labor productivity growth was largely driven by the within-growth effect

Ekonomik büyümede yapısal değişimin rolü gelişmiş ülkeler için iyi belgelenmiştir, ancak gelişmekte olan ülkeler üzerine yapılan çalışmalar sınırlı kalmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin imalat sektöründe 2010-2015 yılları arasında 4 haneli sektör düzeyinde yapısal değişimin işgücü verimliliği üzerindeki etkisini inceleyerek bu boşluğu doldurmayı amaçlamaktadır. Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu'nun NACE Rev.2'ye göre sınıflandırılmış Yıllık Sanayi ve Hizmet İstatistikleri’nden elde edilen 59214 işletmeye ait mikro veriler kullanılarak shift-share yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlar, bu dönemde yapısal değişimin ekonomik büyüme üzerinde olumsuz bir etki yarattığını, işgücü verimliliği artışının ise büyük ölçüde sektör içi büyüme etkisinden kaynaklandığını göstermektedir
