Abstract
This study examines skill shortages and skill mismatches in Türkiye within the context of migration, the education system, and economic conditions. The research is based on official statistics, a comprehensive literature review, and 37 interviews conducted across different regions of Türkiye. Findings indicate that discrepancies between education and labour market needs, shortages of technical staff, brain drain, and undocumented immigrant labour significantly affect the labour market structure and workforce sustainability in the country.

The findings highlight education–industry misalignment and low wages as persistent drivers of shortages, while also analyzing the impact of migration pressures and regional conflicts on labor market stability.
