What is it about?
This study is on the duration aspect of unemployment in a developing country, Turkey. We analyze the determinants of the probability of leaving unemployment for employment. The effects of the personal and household characteristics and the local labor market conditions are examined. The analyses are carried out for men and women separately. The results indicate that the nature of unemployment in Turkey exhibits similarities to the unemployment in both the developed and the developing countries.

Why is it important?
This study is important because there is little evidence on unemployment duration and its determinants in developing countries.
Perspectives
Unemployment rates are high in Turkey and continue to be an important social and economic problem. Unemployment rates for women are much higher than those of men. Therefore, it is important to understand the determinants of the duration of unemployment for men and women separately.
