Özet:

Unemployment is a priority and important problem that all societies are trying to overcome. Unemployment is a multi-dimensional concept that, on the one hand, shows that the country’s economy is working in its capacity and, on the other hand, has psychological, social, economic and political aspects. Therefore, unemployment and its effects are constantly studied by many different disciplines. In the framework of the study, the impact of economic growth in Turkey after financial liberalization on the types of unemployment is studied in the Okun Act and unemployment growth hypothesis center. The data is collected from the World Bank’s database and covers the years 1988-2018. As unemployment rates; the total, men, women, youth, youth-man and youth-woman data are addressed. The causality relationship between the variables is studied by an asymmetric causality test developed by Hatemi-J and E. Roca. According to the findings, economic shocks due to internal and external reasons cause structural breakdowns in unemployment series and also ensure the occurrence of hysteric effects. There is an asymmetrical relationship between the variables. The increase in economic growth leads to a decrease in general, youth and women’s unemployment rates, and the Law of Okun applies to these series. From economic growth to general male and young male unemployment rates, the unemployment growth approach is highlighted. As a result; - while other things are stable - it is believed that, on the one hand, to eliminate the hysteric effects of Turkey, on the other hand, it should be directed to macroeconomic policies that support economic growth to reduce unemployment rates.
