https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2026/05/13/how-boosting-manufacturing-in-turkiye-is-creating-stable-formal-jobs The number of workers entering Türkiye’s labor force is growing, but many — potentially as high as eight million people — are working informally, in jobs that are off-the-books and often lacking employment guarantees, legal protections, or access to recourse.
