The European Union Labor Market and Migration Decisions of Turkish Citizens

Since 1963, Turkey is accepted as a European country by the Ankara Agreement, and Turkey is the home country of the most significant immigrant-origin population in Europe. Therefore, this dissertation chooses the topic of the effects of the labour market policies of European countries besides the EU over Turkish immigrants as a case study. The findings of this dissertation suggest that Turkey might strengthen its labour market by increasing democracy through intense social dialogue and more freedom of association. When Turkey makes strong its labour market by democracy, the accession to the EU might be easier because Turkey will satisfy the Copenhagen Criteria, and the migration from Turkey to the EU might decrease. Thus, Turkey, which has already had a diaspora in Europe through the huge number of Turkish immigrants and Turkish backgrounded people, might be freed from brain drain.
