Young people are at a disadvantage in terms of work and working conditions compared to adult workers in Turkey as in the rest of the world. This study analyses the quality of the jobs that young people are employed in through the "Labour Market Segmentation Theory" and assesses the factors affecting this situation. This framework divided jobs into 'good' and 'bad' jobs following the relevant theory. The 2019 TUIK Household Labour Force Survey Micro Data Set (HIAMVS) is utilized in the analysis. The young population range is a 15-29 age group, similar to ILO's "Global Employment Trends for Youth" reports. Probit model results indicate that jobs are segmented, supporting the theory. According to the findings, the socio-demographic characteristics of young people, the sector they work in, their occupation, and the region they live in significantly affect the probability of employment in a good job.
