“…However, studies have emphasized that investment in youth human capital enhances the economic growth of the developing economies (Sianesi & Van Reenen, 2002). Further, studies have also argued that the transition of youth in the labour market relies on the interrelationship between the micro (age, gender, place of residence, educational background) and macro (economic development, labour market functioning) aspects of the economy (Çelik & Lüküslü, 2018). However, the magnitude of such aspects in defining the labour market transition of an individual may vary accordingly.…”

The significance of youth in the economic development of a nation is well comprehended, while the role of economic transformation in ensuring a successful School-to-Work transition for the younger generation has remained a solemn challenge, especially for the developing countries. Therefore, the objective of this study is to understand School-to-Work transition among the younger generation, considering key indicators of the Indian labour market during the post-reforms period. The findings implicate specific enigmatic changes in the labour market—despite decent economic growth, the declining labour force participation, declining employment and increasing unemployment across gender and sector persist as a significant challenge to a thriving School-to-Work transition for the younger population of the country. Youth—being the prospective human capital—remains highly vulnerable in the Indian labour market, and prospects for their transition in the labour market are skimpy and shrinking, while the challenges remain multidimensional.

“…Even the expectation of such a conflict has pushed LGBTQ+ individuals into defensive passing, by which they kept their authentic selves hidden to avoid stigmatization and discrimination (Ural & Beşpınar, 2017). In particular, high youth unemployment in Turkey intensifies the dependence of individuals on their families, and it also fuels concerns for ultimate economic and social deprivation (Çelik & Lüküslü, 2018). Accordingly, most LGBTQ + individuals have felt the urgency to hide their authentic identities as they cannot get support through alternative social and economic means (Crews & Crawford, 2015).…”

Passing as resistance through a Goffmanian approach: Normalized, defensive, strategic, and instrumental passing when LGBTQ+ individuals encounter institutions

Passing and coming out are two divergent individual strategies historically associated with the LGBTQ+ community as they struggle to fit in with normative expectations at work and in life. While coming out has gradually become more common in organizations and national contexts that offer safeguards for LGBTQ+ individuals, passing remains an option where no such measures are available. Drawing on interviews with working-class LGBTQ+ individuals in a country with an adversarial context, that is, Turkey, we identify how varieties of passing, defined as acting and appearing to fit with the dominant sexual orientation and gender identity norms, are used as strategies of coping with institutional norms. Working-class LGBTQ+ individuals are an important group to study as many draw their pride, power, and identity from their engagement with work and the labor market. Transcending the monolithic accounts of passing, we illustrate four variants of passing (i.e., normalized, defensive, strategic, and instrumental passing) that LGBTQ+ individuals deploy at work. Reflecting on the field study findings, we explicate how and why LGBTQ+ individuals choose to pass at work in each case.

“…We grapple with these issues in the context of Turkey’s recent economic and political crisis, fueled by rising foreign debt, dwindling foreign currency reserves, and the plummeting value of the Lira. This has resulted in a new wave of worker protests, particularly in the metal sector, emerging in 2015 with the active participation of conservative, Islamist, and nationalist workers; however, sometimes workers led these protests by joining leftist trade unions (see Çelik, 2015; Taştekin, 2019). We explore how this development presents obstacles for the AKP’s hegemonic project, and ask as a logical corollary, whether such workers could fill the void left by the decline of leftist trade unionism.…”

Contesting Working-Class Politics in Turkey: Social Transformations, Islam, and the Left

This article examines transition in Kocaeli, an industrial city in the north-western part of Turkey, away from left-wing politics and trade unionism in the early 1970s, and toward Islamic politics from the mid-1990s onwards. It does do by investigating the ideological, political, and social transformation of the working class. Based on fieldwork involving in-depth, semistructured interviews conducted with current and former workers and trade union leaders, the article analyzes the various aspects of, and limits to, the hegemonic relationships between workers and left-wing politics on the one hand, and with Islamic politics, on the other.
