Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of international trade on employment in the Turkish manufacturing industry over the 2003-2017 period. Specifically, this study analyzes the employment effects of Turkey’s trade with its major trading partners, namely, European Union countries, Russia, the United States, Iraq, and China. The findings of the study reveal that increased exports to the selected countries lead to employment generation in Turkish manufacturing. Both exports to and imports from the European Union countries have positive employment effects. Considering only the sectors with the highest employment growth during the period we can conclude that imports from the United States, European Union, and Iraq have led to decline in employment however imports from China and Russia increased employment in the manufacturing industry.
