Young people who are neither in education, employment or training (NEET) has emerged as a social policy problem in the last ten years around the world. Having emerged in the Great Britain by the end of 1990s and been adopted by the European Commission consequently, the NEET concept has also been introduced to Turkish policy agenda by the second half of 2010. This study aims to investigate the interest in the NEET concept and policies in Turkey from a perspective of global social policy and global governance paradigm. Correspondingly, the study focuses on the various actors in the policy design and implementation context and analyzes their approaches to the NEET phenomena along with the dynamics of how the international social policy context reflects on the national agendas. The analysis reveals that while Turkish NEET agenda turns out to be compatible with the global social governance of NEETs, the dimension of international cooperation and policy coordination does not resonate at the same level. The study also discusses the idiosyncratic dynamics of the causes and effects of Turkish NEET phenomenon and the policy implementation dimension in the Turkish context which are discrepant from the ones in developed economies where the phenomenon emerged as a result of the neoliberal governance rationale. It is thought that the NEET discussion holds significant potential to contribute to build a new and contemporary social policy paradigm on the global and national level in relation to living conditions of young people.

“What I need is more than a job”: a self-determination theory based profile of disconnected and working youth in Turkey
Kantaş, Özge; Öner Özkan, Bengi; Department of Psychology (2018)
Among youth who are neither employed nor in education or training (NEET, or "disconnected youth”) Turkey has the highest OECD rate. Although education and employment policies target this problem; psychological wellbeing is another issue that needs specific attention, which was lacking so far. For this, Self-determination Theory (SDT), as a macro theory of human motivation and development, is used as a framework to depict the psychosocial experiences and well-being. Being prone to meaninglessness, worthlessn...
The Individual Pension System In Turkey: A Gendered Perspective
Rittersberger, Helga İda; Elveren, Adem Yavuz (2011-02-01)
The changing role of women both within family and in the labour market is one of the most crucial issues of constructing a new social policy in our century. In line with neo-liberal developments, private pension schemes have reached higher proportions in social security systems all over the world. However, it is a fact that disadvantages of women (i.e. lower level of wage, intermittent work life, and higher life expectancy) have negative consequences on private pension...
SEEKING SOCIAL JUSTICE IN THE EDUCATION REFORMS OF THE JDP: A STUDY ON TRANSITION TO HIGHER EDUCATION IN TURKEY
Kalaycıoğlu, Beste; Bayırbağ, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2022-2)
This study examines the educational reforms implemented in the JDP period in terms of social justice demand with a specific focus on the transition to higher education policies. It has been claimed that since the beginning of the 2000s, when policy-making practices were reshaped by neoliberalism, the application of populist discourse and an incremental policy-making model together marked the reforms implemented in the field of education in Turkey. The main motivation of the study is to question whether it i...
The Effects of youth minimum wage on labour market and schooling outcomes: evidence from Turkey
Küçükbayrak, Müşerref; Dayıoğlu Tayfur, Meltem; Tümen, Semih; Department of Economics (2018)
This study analyzes the impact of youth minimum wage policy on labour market and schooling outcomes in Turkey based on a quasi-experimental approach. Before January 2014, minimum wage was determined according to the age of a worker. Young workers under 16 years of age were entitled to get a lower pay. This created a cut-off at the wages paid to workers based on this age. Differentiation of minimum wage was eliminated in 2014. Exploiting this cut-off, we use an RD design to study the effects of minimum wage ...
Globalization, technological change and labor demand: a firm-level analysis for Turkey
MESCHİ, Elena; Taymaz, Erol; VİVARELLİ, Marco (2016-11-01)
This paper studies the interlinked relationship between globalization and technological upgrading in affecting employment and wages of skilled and unskilled workers in a middle income developing country. It exploits a unique longitudinal firm-level database that covers all manufacturing firms in Turkey over the 1992-2001 period. Turkey is taken as an example of a developing economy that, in that period, had been technologically advancing and becoming increasingly integrated with the world market. The empiri...
