Characteristic of Time-based Underemployment in Turkey: Findings from the Household Labour Force SurveysAbstract:Time-based underemployment is a labour market mismatch that occurs in a circumstance that workers are employed for fewer hours than they desire, aside from their preferences. Even if it is not as unemployment as, this type of employment has an effect of reducing the income level and life satisfaction and increasing the dependency for welfare receipt on workers. This paper explores the association between the time-based underemployment and demographic and work-status predictors on the basis of the logistic regression modelling analyse techniques, by employing the 2016 Household Labour Force Survey microdata taken from Turkish Statistical Institute. The research results originally found that being male and 25-34 age band, holding educational attainment in university and over, working in part-time jobs, informal jobs, the construction sectors and elementary occupations, and living in the Mediterranean Region increased the likelihood of time-based underemployment
