As a result, Turkey has a very low collective bargaining coverage rate, particularly compared to the EU countries. ILO estimated the collective bargaining coverage rate for Turkey as 10.8% in 2001. As betam, we calculate the same rate as 13.3% in 2006, using TURKSTAT\u2019s 2006 Wage Structure Survey.<\/p>\n<p>Wage-earners working in the following sectors seem to have a higher probability of collective bargaining coverage: Electricity, gas and water supply, mining and quarrying, transport, storage and communication. However, those who work in these sectors constitute a small part of the entire population. Almost half of all wage-earners work in manufacturing, which has a collective bargaining coverage rate of 18%.<\/p>\n<p>Firm-level analysis reveals that the firm size and the collective bargaining coverage rate are positively correlated.<\/p>\n<p>Employee-level analysis shows that in general, those who are covered by collective bargaining agreements receive a much higher wage compared to those who are not covered by it. However, these results are descriptive rather than econometric; hence measure raw correlations rather than causal relations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>doc.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/betam.bahcesehir.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ResearchBrief028.doc\">ResearchBrief028<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>pdf.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/betam.bahcesehir.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ResearchBrief028.pdf\">ResearchBrief028<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Burak Darbaz\u00a0and\u00a0G\u00f6k\u00e7e Uysal-Kola\u015fin Trade unions in Turkey have limited rights when it comes to signing collective bargaining agreements.
