“…On average, more generous UI benefits have the largest impact on unemployment duration for male beneficiaries (column 1). Studies by Tansel and Tasci () and by Sahin and Kizilirmak () investigate the determinants of unemployment duration in Turkey and find that the probability of transitioning from unemployment to employment is lower for women. I find that there is no difference between men and women in terms of probability of finding a job due to more generous UI benefits (column 2).…”

This paper examines the impact of unemployment insurance (UI) benefit generosity on labor market transitions in Turkey from 2002 to 2012. Using a unique administrative dataset, I take advantage of a sharp discontinuity in treatment assignment at 900‐paid‐premium‐days to identify the impact of generosity on the outcome variables. I find that unemployment benefit duration is increased by approximately 0.07 weeks per additional week of UI. However, more generous benefits lead to lower probabilities of transition to employment and the impact is greater compared to developed countries. In addition, workers who are entitled to longer UI periods have lower probabilities of cheating the system and rejecting the services of the Turkish Employment Agency.

“…No obstante, este fenómeno también podría explicarse por una mayor incorporación femenina a la fuerza laboral como propone Valleta (2005). Otra causa probable de este fenómeno es que el trabajo femenino podría tener un mayor precio sombra, dadas las actividades domésticas que ejecutan, por lo que podrían tener un salario de reserva mayor, lo cual provocaría que la probabilidad de aceptar una oferta de trabajo sea menor (Tansel & Tasci, 2004). Esta relación entre la duración del desempleo y el género también fue encontrada por diversos autores como Foley (1997) establecimiento de licencias de maternidad con el objetivo de estimular la participación femenina en el mercado laboral incrementa el costo efectivo de contratar mujeres de edad fértil, por lo que empeoran sus perspectivas de empleo (Gauthier-Loiselle, 2013).…”

RESUMENEl siguiente trabajo analiza los factores preponderantes que explican la duración de los periodos de desempleo y la dinámica transicional entre el empleo, el desempleo y la inactividad en el mercado laboral de Costa Rica a partir de las Encuestas Continuas de Empleo, desde el primer trimestre de 2012 hasta el tercer trimestre de 2013. La investigación centra su atención en los factores por el lado de la oferta laboral y utilizan modelos logísticos binomiales y multinomiales para establecer cuáles variables determinan que una persona esté desempleada, matrices de Markov para la estimación de diferentes probabilidades de transición dentro del mercado laboral y un modelo de supervivencia para caracterizar la duración de los periodos de desempleo. Se concluye que las mujeres presentan mayores probabilidades de estar desempleadas y menores de cambiar de estado hacia el empleo, así como periodos de desempleo más largos. Asimismo, un mayor grado académico de las personas disminuye sus probabilidades de encontrarse desempleados, pero aumenta la duración de este estado. Se observa una correlación entre el comportamiento de la actividad económica y la probabilidad de conseguir empleo y la de pasar del desempleo a la inactividad. PALABRAS CLAVE: MERCADO DE TRABAJO, DESEMPLEO, DURACIÓN Y TRANSICIÓN ABSTRACTThis paper analyzes the main factors that explain the duration of unemployment spells and the transitional dynamics between the state of employment, unemployment and inactivity in Costa Rican labor market, using the Continuous Employment Survey for the period between the first quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2013. This research focuses mainly on supply-side factors and uses binominal and multinomial logit models in order to

“…The second main reason is the increased job finding ability with a university degree. Tansel and Taşçı (2010) note the higher probability of finding a job out of unemployment for the university graduates compared to the unemployed at other levels of education. Further, university graduate men can serve his military service as an officer rather than as a private soldier.…”

Structured Abstract:Purpose: This paper aims to provide the recent developments on the supplementary education system in Turkey. The national examinations for advancing to higher levels of schooling are believed to fuel the demand for Supplementary Education Centers (SEC). Further, we aim to understand the distribution of the SECs and of the secondary schools across the provinces of Turkey in order to evaluate the spacial equity considerations. Design/Methodology/Approach: The evolution of the SECs and of the secondary schools over time are described and compared. The provincial distribution of the SECs, secondary schools and the high school age population are compared. The characteristics of these distributions are evaluated to inform the about spatial equity issues. The distribution of high school age population that attend secondary schools and the distribution of the secondary school students that attend SECs across the provinces are compared. Findings: The evidence points out to significant provincial variations in various characteristics of SECs and the secondary schools. The distribution of the SECs is more unequal than that of the secondary schools. The provinces located mostly in the east and south east of the country have lower quality SECs and secondary schools. Further, the SEC participation among the secondary school students and the secondary school participation among the relevant age group are lower in some of the provinces indicating major disadvantages. Originality/Value: The review of the most recent developments about the SECs, examination and comparison of provincial distributions of the SECs and of the secondary schools are novelties in this paper. * This paper is prepared at the kind request of Janice Aurini, Scott Davies and Julian Dierkes.
