Publication: Devletin piyasaya müdahale araçları : Türkiye'de asgari ücret örneği
Abstract
Asgari ücret, iş karşılığı çalışana kanuni olarak verilebilecek en düşük ücreti ifade etmektedir. İktisadi ekollere ve ülkeden ülkeye farklılık gösteren asgari ücretin amacı çalışan kişinin ve ailesinin insan haysiyetine yakışır bir standartta yaşam sürmesi ve adil bir gelir dağılımının sağlanmasıdır. Türkiye’de de ilk olarak 1951 yılında tespitine başlanılan asgari ücret diğer ücretleri ve ekonomik değişkenleri zaman içerisinde etkilemiştir. Kaynak tahsisinde etkinlik, gelir dağılımında adalet, ekonomik istikrar ve kalkınma, tam istihdam ve fiyat istikrarı gibi diğer ekonomik değişkenleri etkilemesi sebebi ile Türkiye’de asgari ücret hususu geçmişten beri önem arz etmiş; devletin piyasaya müdahale ve sosyal politika aracı olarak günümüze kadar süregelmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında öncelikle devletin piyasaya müdahale süreçleri ve dünya genelinde asgari ücrete değinilmiştir. Daha sonrasında ise ağırlıklı olarak asgari ücretin Türkiye’de kurumsallaşma süreci, yasal düzenlemeleri, yıllara göre tespiti ve tespitinde yaşanan sorunlar ekseninde devletin asgari ücret aracılığı ile piyasaya müdahil olma süreci ve çıktılarına yer verilmiştir.
