Aims of the Course	The aim of this course is to examine the labour markets of European Union member states and Türkiye from economic, social, and institutional perspectives, and to analyse similarities and differences in employment structures, unemployment, labour force participation, and working conditions. The course covers the European Union's employment strategies and social policy approach, labour market regulation, active and passive labour market policies, flexible forms of employment, youth and women's employment, vocational skills, and labour market inequalities. Türkiye's labour market indicators and policies are also evaluated in comparison with practices in European Union countries.
