This study, on the impact of privatization on dismissed workers in Turkey, is the first of its kind. It is based on interviews with dismissed workers in the cement and petrochemicals sectors. Sevred workers suffered significant earning losses upon re-employment. These losses amounted to an average of 61 per cent for the cement and 57 percent for the Petkim workers. Earning losses were smaller for the more experienced and ebtter educated but were higher for those with higher earnings in state employment; earning losses were not significantly influenced by the tenure in state employment.
