Bu çalışmada, 1951-2006 döneminde Türkiye’de ekonomik büyüme ile işsizlik arasındaki ilişkinin En Küçük Kareler (EKK) ve Vektör Otoregresyon (VAR) yöntemi ile açıklanması amaçlanmıştır. Söz konusu metodlara göre ise En Küçük Kareler yöntemi hariç VAR yöntemi sonuçlarına göre ekonomik büyüme ile işsizlik arasında ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Diğer bir deyişle, Türkiye’de ekonomik büyüme işsizlik oranlarını etkilemektedir fakat söz konusu bu etki yeterli düzeyde değildir.
