Inflation remains one of the most pressing economic issues in Türkiye. At the time of writing, official figures hover around 44.38%, for many Turkish citizens the reality on the ground feels far more severe. This disparity between official statistics and lived experience has profound implications for the labour market. Employees are struggling to maintain their purchasing power, and their expectations of employers have never been higher.
In this economic climate, it’s no longer enough to simply adjust wages incrementally. Businesses must think holistically about how to meet employee needs without jeopardising the financial stability of their businesses.

“In my opinion, the gap between technological innovation and workforce readiness is one of the biggest threats to Türkiye’s economic competitiveness. This divide can only be fixed by employers collaborating with educational institutions and prioritising in-house training.
For me, as a recruiter and business leaders, this isn’t just about addressing a skills shortage; it’s about empowering our people to be active participants in shaping the future.”
