Türkiye is preparing to introduce new measures to increase employment, including expanding institutional child care services, adjusting working days and promoting flexible working arrangements, according to its updated economic blueprint.
The 2027-2029 Medium-Term Program (MTP), unveiled Sunday, calls for comprehensive policies to reduce underutilized labor and increase participation in economic activity, while also envisaging greater cooperation between the public and the private sectors.
The program aims to remove barriers to entering the labor market stemming from skills gaps, care responsibilities, job-search difficulties and regional mismatches.
People currently outside the labor market will be supported in moving into registered and sustainable employment, while programs will be introduced from an early age to prepare people for working life and encourage labor-force participation.
The value of work and the social importance of production will be reflected in school curricula from the beginning of formal education, according to the program.
