Abstract
We examine the correlates of involuntary part-time employment in Turkey. We contribute to previous studies regarding Turkey on two aspects. First, we focus on the cyclical and structural components that capture both labour demand and supply conditions, respectively. Second, we control for sample selection bias by applying a recursive bivariate model. We find that involuntary part-time employment is more common among males and moves with unemployment rate. Estimation results present a strong association between involuntary part-time employment and structural factors.
