Youth Employment in The Sports Sector

Abstract

Sports, today, have become economically remarkable because they affect many sectors (such as education, press, textiles, tourism, games of chance and infrastructure) directly or indirectly. The interaction of sports with such a number of areas makes it difficult to evaluate its economic effects. Sport is one of the key industries that are rapidly growing all over the world and is likely to create new jobs. In recent years, the increasing economic and commercial tendency of sports has created a real change in Europe. While the EU is trying to reduce unemployment, the sports sector also supports infrastructure investments, new technologies, training and exchange programs, and creation of new business lines. One of the main issues that the EU discusses is the employment in sports. As described in the White Paper by the commission, sports have become a significant source of employment. Considering that sports employ especially the young, its effect on youth employment rates is an issue of concern. In this study, we examined the youth employment shares of Europe and Turkey in the sports sector. The data sources of the study are Eurostat, the EU commission reports, the ILO and TUIK (Turkish Statistical Institute), and the data were obtained through document analysis method. The data were interpreted with the research results done by various study groups. As a result, the studies show that the sports sector has an employment rate of around 2% of GDP in the EU member states. In Turkey, the share of the sports sector in general employment is 0.5%. In addition, nearly 40% of the individuals employed in the sports sector belong to youthful population.
