Scholarship / Describe SDG#10: Reduced Inequalities against the context of your home country. (Swedish Institute) [4]

@Holt
Hi Holt. First of all thank you for your feedback.Sorry for the forgot writing actual prompt. I am a newcomer. This is one of the question for Swedish-Turkish Scholarship Programme for master's studies. The question actually is "Choose one of the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) prioritized within the scholarship programme and describe it against the context of your home country.(Max. 600 characters incl. spaces)". I prefered to write about SDG# Reduced Inequalities. Do you have a chance to review?

disparities in turkey

(Max. 600 characters incl. spaces)

Turkey has inequalities in crucial policy areas such as employment, education, income distribution, poverty and health care. Especially inequalities in employment directly affect other social inequalities. I have many friends who are currently unemployed in Turkey which is the 3rd highest rate in the list of unemployment rate by tertiary education level among OECD countries. In addition, people who can find a job work very long hours for low salaries since there are inequalities in average working hours and salaries. All of them prevent contribution of youth for social transformation.
