Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
More than 4 million young people in Turkey are neither in education nor employment, remaining outside the labor force as "home youth." Low wages, experience requirements, rising living costs and burnout are cited as factors pushing them away from working life. Experts warn that prolonged detachment carries social risks. The figure matters because it signals unused human capital and potential long-term strain on growth and public finances. What to watch next is whether policy measures address wage levels, entry-level hiring barriers and cost-of-living pressures to bring these young people back into the workforce.
