İşsizliğin Azaltılmasına Yönelik Kamusal Müdahale: Çalışma Saatlerinin Düzenlenmesi
Public Intervention to Reduce Unemployment: Regulation of Working Hours

Summary/Abstract: This study examines the effect of shortening weekly working hours on unemployment. At the same production level, employees working less time means more people working. In the study, it is predicted that reducing weekly working hours will reduce unemployment, provided that the income level of employees remains constant. Taking the studies and published reports as data, the results show that although shortening weekly working hours has positive effects, it is not welcomed in the labor market due to the increased costs it creates for employers. This negative impact can be eliminated by reducing the financial burdens on employers with financial aid and subsidies provided by the state. Although the study's findings are that this system will reduce unemployment, it is necessary to support it with public policies for this system to be implemented.
