摘要：Unemployment is the crucial social problem of Turkey. We assume that the high unemploymentin Turkey, which stems from technological shifts in manufacturing as a whole and variations acrosssectors, is structural in nature. The paper explores the factors affecting the unemployment in twostages. First, a comparative analysis is used in order to search similarities and differences betweenTurkey and other middle-income countries. The sources of the unemployment differ in many ways inthe developed and developing countries. Therefore, to ensure homogeneity, developing countriesfrom the different geographic regions are selected for the international comparison. Second, the paperfocuses on two dimensions of unemployment in Turkey. One of them is the effect of the changes inthe sectoral composition on the total employment demand. The other one is the variations in skilledto unskilled labor ratio across manufacturing industries
