2. As the world and Turkey proceed toward economic shrinkage, it is
the young population that is the most anxious.

3. One third of youth
neither at a work nor
at school in Turkey !
 One third of 11.7
million young people in
Turkey are either
unemployed as they
have not been able to
find a job, or they are
neither in school nor
holding a job
They are outside the workforce !

4.  One reason creating this
situation is the difficulty
young people face in
accessing secondary
education in rural areas,
especially in less
developed regions;
 Another factor is the
behavior of conservative
families of not sending
young girls either to school
or to work BUT...

5.  There are 5.9 million young
women between the ages of 15-
24, and they lag behind men
both in education and in
employment.
 While 58 percent of young
men are active in the
workforce, only 29 percent of
young women are.

6.  Most of the young
people who are
jobless, spend their
time at the internet
cafe.

7.  Those who joined
employment from the 15-
24 age group reduced
rapidly, especially in the
Mediterranean members of
the EU; the youth are in a
situation where they have
not been able to find jobs
for years.

8.  Compared to this situation,
Turkey stands at a place
near the average, both in
terms of employment and
in terms of youth
employment.

9.  The situation of Roman
community in Turkey is
also similar to that for
years. Employers don't
trust them so they are
trapped inside a vicious
circle in poor and
unhealthy life conditions.

10.  They have no choice but to
beg on the corners of the
streets.
 Syrian refugees in Turkey are
mostly uneducated and coming
from a poor background.
