• Abstract

   

  This research aims to evaluate The privatizations made in Turkey between 1980-2020 and their applications on the socio-economic structure of Turkey. Data provided by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye and the World Bank Country Reports Türkiye report were used as the data set. Although there is a negative relationship between privatization revenues and urbanization, women's employment, growth, inflation, exchange rate and industrial production; and a positive relationship between health expenditures, GNP and employment, these relationships are not statistically significant (p>0.05). The effect of privatization revenues on urbanization, female unemployment, health expenditures, GINI and education data is not statistically significant (p>0.05). Privatization revenues after 1980 did not have a statistically significant effect on growth, inflation, GNP, employment, exchange rate and industrial production (p>0.05). Although privatizations are actions that are stated to aim to contribute economically and socially, the results show that this is not fully reflected.
