Turkish regional youth unemployment and engagement

Overview

Regional leaders and political figures in Turkey are addressing the challenges of youth unemployment and the resulting migration of young people from their hometowns.

In Iğdır and Manisa, stakeholders have called for improved employment policies, noting that temporary programs are insufficient for long-term stability. Proposals include establishing municipal career offices to bridge the gap between universities and the private sector, as well as strengthening cooperation between vocational schools and industry to ensure training meets market demands.

Political representatives have also weighed in on the social dimensions of the issue. In Pursaklar, calls were made to reform political discourse to prevent youth alienation by fostering environments for debate and decision-making. Meanwhile, in Eğil, leaders emphasized the need for targeted investments in industry, agriculture, and fisheries to create local opportunities and prevent young people from being forced to seek work in other regions.
