ABSTRACT 
Planning Expertise Thesis 
UNDECLARED EMPLOYMENT AND METHODS TO COMBAT 
Ahmet Oğuz SARICA 
In this study on the problem of undeclared employment, it has been aimed to 
make suggestions on which methods to follow and which instruments to employ in 
order to combat undeclared employment in forthcoming years by taking all 
dimensions of undeclared employment in Turkey into account in a comprehensive 
manner and considering the precautions taken by EU member countries in their 
combatting undeclared work. 
Literature review has been conducted while examining unrecorded economy 
as well as undeclared employment and comparative analyses have been carried out 
through utilization of various surveys, national as well as international statistics on 
dimensions, causes and effects of undeclared employment. Besides, scenario analyses 
have been made regarding forthcoming years on the topics of employment and 
unemployment, which are closely related with undeclared employment. 
In the first section, unrecorded economy has been examined due to its close 
relationship with undeclared employment in a context enriched with examples from 
other countries. In the second section, definition of undeclared employment, its 
dimensions in agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, causes and effects of 
undeclared employment as well as its significance in other countries has been 
examined. Besides, informal sector has been mentioned due to its close relationship 
with undeclared employment. The third section addresses the precautions taken to 
cope with undeclared employment in Turkey and EU member countries and the 
fourth section involves an assessment of issues, which can influence undeclared 
employment in the forthcoming years, The last part involves suggestions – which 
have been formed on the basis of considerations covering all dimensions of 
undeclared employment in Turkey and cases in other countries –on the methods to be 
utilized in combatting undeclared employment. 
Consequently, it has been found out that undeclared employment in Turkey is 
a structural problem when its dimensions, causes and effects are considered. 
According to the scenario analyses, unemployment poses the most significant risk 
regarding the fight with undeclared employment. The study concludes that, since 
undeclared employment is a multi-dimensional problem, rather than focusing solely 
on improving auditing mechanisms, it is necessary to implement a strategy, which is 
not only based on a consensus of all segments of the society but also in harmony with 
employment generation strategy of Turkey.
