Abstract: This study tests the effects of individual characteristics on the incidence of being longterm unemployed in Turkey using data from Turkey’s Household Labor Force Surveys of 2010 and 2011 which are the first two following years of Global Economic Recession. The results indicate that females are more likely to be long-term unemployed than males and this result hinders for “gender discrimination” against women. The results also indicate that increases in education as well as age increases the probability of being long-term unemployed and this indicates inadequacy of education and experience in Turkish labor market.Classification-JEL: J41, J64.
