Abstract

The aim of this study is to discover the root causes of the labor market adjustment problem, which has not been resolved for a long time in Turkey, on the most fundamental basis and by observing in the least developed region. The study is based on data obtained from qualitative and quantitative field studies that lasted approximately nine months as part of a research project supported by the Eastern Anatolia Development Agency (DAKA). According to the results, social skills deficiencies have been identified among the causes of labor market conflicts and vocational skill deficiencies in regions with low socio-economic development. Contrary to most studies on education-employment fit, the results of this study show that central education remains a habit for the labor market parties but does not meet the expectations of both parties.
