General Information
Project description
In Turkey, the years between 2012 and 2017 saw a steadily rising labor force participation rate but also unemployment. New workers, including women and youth, joined those already in the market increasing the competition for available jobs. At the same time, employers, reported difficulties finding workers with appropriate workplace competencies when filling vacancies, particularly when it came to job-related behaviors. The Turkish Employment Agency (ISKUR) and the World Bank teamed up to test whether providing jobseekers with more labor market information and with short training focused on socioemotional skills and goal setting and planning could impact their job search intensity. This exercise aimed to inform İSKUR’s ongoing efforts to provide a broader package of services to jobseekers.
