Tersine Dönen Emek Arz Eğrisi: Türkiye Sınaması

Öz

Mal ve hizmetlerin üretimi için gerekli olan temel üretim faktörlerinin başında emek gelmektedir. Emek arzı genellikle hanehalkına ya da bireylere bağlıdır. Klasik olarak ücretler artarsa emek arzının artacağı bilinen bir gerçektir. Bu genel kabul gören varsayımın her zaman geçerli olmadığı da tartışılan diğer bir olgudur. Bireylerin ya da emek arzı sahiplerinin bir takım faktörlerin etkisi ile boş zamanı çalışmaya tercih ettikleri görülmektedir. Artan gelire rağmen oluşan bu durum tersine dönen emek arz eğrisi kavramı ile açıklanmaktadır.

Bu çalışma artan ücretler karşısında emek arzının durumunu Türkiye için incelemektedir. Türkiye’deki emek sahiplerinin belirli bir seviyeye kadar artan ücretler karşısında emek arzlarını artırmalarının mümkün olduğu görülebilir. Ancak zaman içinde artan ücret ile birlikte bireyler kendisine, ailesine ya da sosyal yaşama vakit ayırmak gibi sebeplerden dolayı boş zamanı tercih etmektedirler. Hanehalkı araştırma anketi verileri ile yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre emek arz eğrisinin Türkiye için tersine dönen bir seyir izlediğini ortaya koymaktadır.

Backward Bending Supply of Labor: Case of Turkey

Öz

Labor is one of the basic production factors essential for the production of goods and services. The supply of labor is usually dependent on households or individuals. It is a known fact that labor supply will increase if wages increase. However it is argued that this generally accepted assumption is not always valid. With the effect of a number of factors, it is seen that individuals or labor supply holders prefer leisure  time to work. This situation is explained by backward bending supply of labor despite increasing income.

This study examines the situation of labor supply versus rising wages for Turkey. In Turkey, up to a certain point it can be seen that labor holders increase labor supplies in the face of rising wages. However, with increasing wages over time, individuals prefer leisure time for reasons such as spending time for themselves, their families or social life. Household survey data analysis reveals that supply curve of labor has a backward bending trend for Turkey.
