This study investigates the trends of and factors behind discouraged workers in Turkey during the period 1988-2014. According to ILO (1982), discouraged workers are those who wanted to work, but are not employed, and not job seekers anymore because they believe there is no work available for them. In this paper, it is put forward that the number of discouraged workers in Turkey cannot be ignored. Using data from Turkstat, World Development Indicators, and Turkish Ministry of Development, locally weighted (LOESS) regressions are estimated for the possible determinants of discouragement. The results demonstrate that discouragement increases rapidly after a certain per capita income threshold is reached. Besides, as unemployment increases, people are more eager to become discouraged, which is an expected relationship. Surprisingly, in the recent period of increasing employment, a rise both in the number and share of discouraged workers is detected in Turkey. The crisis years (especially 2001) seriously accelerated discouragement at higher secondary and tertiary school enrolment rates. Furthermore, discouraged workers increased gradually as services value added share increased, whereas industrial and agricultural value added shrank. Urbanization also triggers discouragement. These findings are expected to have important policy implications for Turkey, which tackles with significant issues regarding unemployment levels and human capital development.

The study group included a total of 296 (167 male and 133 female) students; Education Faculty students (n = 99), Sport Science Faculty students (n = 97) and Enginering Faculty students (n = 100). For determination of metacognitive learning strategies of university students, Metacognitive Learning Strategies Scale developing by Namlu (2004) was used. the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied to test for a normal distribution and the result found that the data distribution was not normal (p<.005). Therefore, Mann-Whitney U statistical analysis were performed. Descriptive analysis was also performed. It has been found that university students used metacognitive learning strategies at medium level. This result is consistent with the previous research results. In addition to this, this study also found statistically significant difference between male and female students in the total score of metacognitive, organization and controlling scores (p<0.05) in the favor of male students. However, no statistically difference in the planning and evaluating scores were found (p> 0.05). This result is different from previous research. It was concluded that this significant difference happened because of previous research participants were only included physical education and sport teaching department students. However, students from different faculties were participated in this study. This study shows that male and female students use different metacognitive learning strategies so future research should compare both male and female students’ metacognitive learning strategies from different faculties, universities and even from different geographical and sociocultural areas.
