In a nutshell

  1. Turkey’s manufacturing sectors post faster growth through backward linkages in global value chains, whereas services sectors do so through forward linkages; agricultural sectors have the lowest participation.

  2. There are significant associations between participation in global value chains and employment creation at the sector level in Turkey.

  3. There are significant indirect effects of participation in global value chains on employment for the manufacturing sectors.
