Özet
During the Global Economic Crisis, the Government has established various social policy measures. Amongst those policies, “shorter working time and its pay” has particular significance for the industrial sector and its workers. Many firms could not benefit from shorter working time opportunity due to rigid rules and restrictions in the beginning of the crisis. Later, these restrictions have loosened because of measures against the economic crisis and consequently shorter working time has become a life buoy to employers. If shorter working time was not exist, the rate of open unemployment would be 14.8% rather than 14%. The shorter working time arrangements is an effective social policy measure that saved livelihood of 3.247 companies and prevented 190.000 additional job losses in 2009, which was a year deeply affected by the global economic crisis. Another important conclusion which was offered by the shorter working time experiment is that it is created a terrain to open the way of flexibility on the basis of flexicurity in the Turkish labour market.
