Exploring IŞKUR Reports Together

IŞKUR is the first institution people encounter when unemployment begins. The agency manages critical mechanisms ranging from unemployment benefits to active labor market programs, vocational training courses, and employment incentives. Yet despite its large budget and broad mandate, IŞKUR receives surprisingly little public scrutiny.

Nevertheless, IŞKUR's annual activity reports, Court of Accounts audit reports, Unemployment Insurance Fund independent audit reports, and general assembly decisions contain invaluable information about how the institution operates.

These documents are typically dozens of pages long, written in technical language, and spread across multiple years. It is nearly impossible for any individual to review such volume and extract meaningful patterns.

But artificial intelligence tools now make it possible to quickly scan these reports, ask questions, compare data, and identify trends.

İşsizler.org has uploaded publicly available IŞKUR reports into Google's NotebookLM tool and made them collectively searchable. The currently accessible documents include:

Over 80 official documents have been pooled into a single searchable resource, eliminating the need to hunt through them individually.

How can you contribute?

You can access the Notebooks and ask questions that matter to you: "Which expense categories drew the largest payments from the Unemployment Insurance Fund?", "Which warnings has the Court of Accounts repeated across years?", "What is the employment conversion rate for vocational training courses?"

If you wish to investigate your findings further, your research need not stop there. You can file a Freedom of Information request with IŞKUR to demand additional disclosure on the topic.

Share striking data, contradictions, unanswered questions, or screenshots of your freedom of information requests with us; together we can build a collaborative research output.
