Özet:

The unemployment issue has been a significant problem that concerns all economies for many years. This issue mainly affected the young population because of social and psychological reasons. Youth unemployment is a problem in all developed and developing countries, not only in economic terms but also in the social dimension. Therefore, countries must constantly develop policies to solve the general unemployment and youth unemployment problem and increase society's welfare. This study investigated the effects of economic growth, economic globalization, labour freedom, wage level, and fixed capital formation on youth unemployment. In the analysis, data from 35 OECD member countries for the period 2005-2018 were used. As a method, a generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator was used within the scope of the dynamic panel data method. According to the analysis results, it has been determined that economic growth, economic globalization and fixed capital formation negatively affect youth unemployment.
