Özet:

Unemployment causes significant socio-economic problems in national economies, both on the supply and demand sides, directly or indirectly. Therefore, it is essential to conduct scientific research on the problem of unemployment and to develop policy recommendations for its solution. In this context, in the study analyzing the annual data for the 1991-2021 period prepared to test the hysteresis effect in total, youth, female and male unemployment in BRICS-T countries, Carrion-i-Silvestre et al. (2009) multiple structural break and KSS unit root test as well as Fourier ADF (FADF) and Fourier KPSS (FKPSS) tests were applied to the time series according to their linearity. Within the scope of the study, panel data sets of BRICS-T countries were also created and the related series were analyzed with the Fourier Panel KPSS(FPKPSS) test. When all the analysis results are evaluated collectively, it is concluded that there is a hysteria effect on general, youth, female and male unemployment rates in BRICS-T countries in general, but this effect is more pronounced in the group of countries considered, especially in youth and female unemployment rates.
