Por qué importa
Full employment is part of most central banks' mandate. A falling unemployment rate means a tighter labour market, faster wage growth and more inflation pressure, which can keep the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye hawkish; a rising rate is one of the clearest recession signals (the US "Sahm rule" flags a 0.5-point rise in the three-month average).
Cómo se calcula
TurkStat usually runs a household survey: people are counted as unemployed if they had no work, were available and looked for a job recently. The rate is unemployed ÷ (employed + unemployed). Registered jobless and claimant counts instead count people signed on for benefits. Participation is the labour force ÷ working-age population.
Unemployment rate = unemployed ÷ labour force × 100
Labour force = employed + unemployedQué significan los cambios
- A lower rate than expected usually supports the Turkish lira.
- Check participation: unemployment can fall because people stop looking, which is not good news.
- Broader measures (US U-6) include part-timers who want more hours.
Mayor de lo esperado: A higher unemployment rate than expected points to a weakening labour market: the Turkish lira tends to soften as markets price in lower rates.
Menor de lo esperado: A lower unemployment rate than expected signals a tight labour market: it tends to support the Turkish lira and push bond yields up.
Una breve historia
Systematic unemployment statistics began in the 1930s Depression; the International Labour Organization's definition, adopted in 1982, is used by most countries today.
