Bu çalışma Türkiye’de dijitalleşme, işsizlik ve boşanma oranları arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini 2007-2021 dönemi için Fourier Toda Yamamoto Nedensellik Testi’ni kullanarak araştırmaktadır. Uluslararası Dijital Ekonomi ve Toplum Endeksi dijitalleşme göstergesi olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçları sadece dijitalleşmeden boşanma oranlarına doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisinin var olduğunu göstermektedir. Fakat, 2007-2021 döneminde Türkiye’de dijitalleşme ile işsizlik arasında herhangi bir nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmamaktadır. İşsizlik ile boşanma oranları arasında da herhangi bir nedensellik ilişkisi yoktur. Bu bulgu, dijitalleşmenin aile içi iletişimi bozarak boşanma oranlarını etkilediğini göstermektedir.

Analysis of The Causality Relationship Among Digitalisation, Unemployment Rate, and Divorce Rates: A Research on Türkiye

Öz

This study investigates the relationship between digitalisation, unemployment, and divorce rates in Türkiye by using the Fourier Toda Yamamoto Causality Test from 2007 to 2021. International Digital Economy and Society Index (I-DESI) has been used to indicate digitalisation. The results suggest that there is unilateral causality from digitalisation to divorce rates. However, there is no causality linkage between digitalisation and unemployment rates for the period 2007-2021. Moreover, there is no causal connection between unemployment rates and divorce rates. The findings show that digitalisation affects divorce rates by disrupting family communication.
