BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

Unregistered employment remains one of the critical concerns and significant challenges of the Turkish labour market. Even though recent years have seen a downward trend in unregistered employment, a substantial portion of Turkey’s workforce is still employed without being registered with the social security system. In this regard, this TA project aimed to promote registered employment through strengthening the capacity of the Social Security Institution and enhancing coordination among relevant public institutions and social partners in order to provide sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion.

CONCRETE RESULTS AND OUTPUTS

• The capacity of SSI(Social Security Institution), relevant institutions and social partners were improved to promote registered employment, • A trainer team was established that will conduct future training of the SSI staff members, • Cooperation and coordination between the SSI and relevant ministries were increased, • Models for inter-ministerial cooperation were identified, developed and tested in the selected areas and locations, • A new common database was created for cross-institutional use, • Awareness at national and regional levels about the importance of registered employment and social security was raised, • Field studies were conducted, and a labour market analysis was produced, • The results of the grant projects at the national and regional level were disseminated, • NUTS II Regions (43 cities in total, including 15 growth centres and hinterlands) were defined as the target regions of the project.
