Genç İşsizliği ve Geleceğe Uzanan Zorlu İşgücü Piyasası Koşulları: Diyarbakır, Suriçi Bölgesi Örneği

Günümüz işgücü piyasasında gençler, işverenlere ve yöneticilere kendilerini beğendirmek için büyük bir mücadele vermektedir. Gençler bir taraftan daha iyi bir gelecek, iyi bir kariyer ve yüksek bir ücret beklentisi içindeyken; diğer taraftan işgücü piyasasında yüzlerine kapanan kapılar ve geri dönülmeyen iş başvuruları gerçeği ile yüzleşmek zorunda kalmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Diyarbakır’ın Sur ilçesinde MEKSA Diyarbakır Şubesi tarafından yürütülen Sur İstihdam ve Mesleki Eğitim Projesi kapsamında gerçekleştirilen saha araştırmasından elde edilen bulgular, gençlerin işgücü piyasasındaki dezavantajlı durumuna odaklanan teorik arka plan dikkate alınarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, araştırmaya katılan gençlerin düşük eğitim düzeylerine sahip olduklarını, düşük gelirli hanelerde yaşadıklarını, işgücü piyasasında yüksek işsizlik oranları, kayıt dışı istihdam, geçici çalışma, düşük ücret düzeyi ve mesleksizlik gibi sorunlarla karşı karşıya kaldıklarını göstermiştir

Youth Unemployment and Challenging Labor Market Conditions Reaching to the Future: The Case of Diyarbakır, Sur Region

In today’s labor market, young people are struggling at full steam to recommend themselves to employers and managers. While the young people are looking for a better future, a good career and a high wage on one hand; they have to confront the reality of doors which are closing to their faces and unanswered job applications in the labor market on the other. For today’s youth, the path to adulthood exposes a very long and complex structure even in the beginning. In this study, the findings obtained from the field survey conducted within the scope of Sur Employment and Vocational Training Project carried out by MEKSA in Sur, Diyarbakir analyzed by taking the theoretical background of young people’s disadvantaged situation in labor market into account. Findings show that young people who participate in the survey have low educational levels, are living in households with low incomes, face high unemployment rates in the labor market, are employed in informal sectors and unsecured, temporary jobs with low wage levels.
