Abstract

This paper examines the linkages between young workers and trade unions in Turkey by reference to two survey results done by United Metal Workers’ Union in 2005 and by TAREM in 2009. There are some differences between these two surveys as to the universe, context, age-groups and sample size. However, the aim of comparing these two surveys is to evaluate the results of the surveys one of which was done before the economic crisis and the other that was done during the crisis. In this study, we compare the young workers’ answers to the different questions and search how these answers show similarities and/or differences. Therefore, the aim of the study is to understand how the young workers answers and which variables are changed with the crisis and evaluate these results. Young workers in the context of these surveys had similar economic and education levels. Also they had similar sex ratios, social security coverage and practice of living with their families. Understanding the situation of young workers during the crisis through these similar properties is the main aim of this study.
