Özet:

The application of unemployment insurance introduced in the West at the beginning of the 20th century got enacted in Turkiye solely by the end of the century and put into effect at the very beginning of the first year of the 21st century. Owing to the fact that it is not easy to benefit from unemployment allowances, it enables to keep the rate of utilisation of these allowances low and thus prevents the probability of occurrence of insufficiency of the unemployment fund. However, the fact that the biggest share in the payment of unemployment premium is on the employer leads to the reaction of this segment. Besides that, there is a severance pay scheme application in Turkiye which is not available in the USA. In this respect, it is envisaged that the employer's premium rate will be reduced down to 1% of the gross monthly earnings of the insured, and the loss is met by the state so as not to reduce the fund revenues. Such a practice leads to an increase in employment rate, a more balanced distribution of income, and well becomes in conformity with the social state practice.
