Both were unemployed and without pay.
turn on While close names made it to the agenda with multiple positions and multiple salaries, data from the Turkish Employment Agency (İŞKUR) revealed the status of the citizen. İŞKUR unemployment benefits data revealed that only half of the workers received unemployment benefits. Thus, the citizen was unemployed and without salary. The extent of unemployment in Turkey was also reflected in the İŞKUR 2022 annual report. The number of applicants for unemployment benefits, which was 609,530 in 2012 and 840,793 in 2018, jumped to 1,707,850 at the close of 2022. İŞKUR, for its part, provided unemployment benefits to only 812,506 people. In other words, only 47 percent of those who wanted unemployment benefits were able to collect. It has been reported that the unemployment benefit paid in 2022 is TL 12,544,523,000. CHP MP Burhanettin Bulut drew attention to the fact that the size of the Unemployment Insurance Fund, which was established in March 2002 with the aim of “providing economic security to employees in case of unemployment”, exceeded the 124 billion TL by the end of 2022.

Stating that a total of 17,173,166 people have applied for the Unemployment Insurance Fund to receive unemployment benefits since its inception, Bulut said, “However, only 9,673,929 people were able to receive benefits.” Noting that almost half of the claimants could not receive unemployment benefits, Burhanettin Bulut said: “Because such conditions were introduced to qualify for unemployment benefits, the fund almost assumed the objective of not giving unemployment benefits.”
‘İŞKUR is generous to employers’
cogeneration Demanding that the condition of benefiting from unemployment insurance be eased in favor of workers, MP Burhanettin Bulut said: “The Unemployment Insurance Fund has been looted by the government like looting Hasan’s cake. It was used for every job, from the transfer of resources to the Southeast Anatolia Project, such as earthquake taxes, to labor supports, from the epidemic to unpaid wages of workers in Soma, to road incentives. That money must be used for the sweat of the worker and the workers. A generous fund for the employer and stingy for the employee is unacceptable.”
