The labour underutilisation measure was on a falling trend for much of last year after peaking at 29.5% in January 2021 under the impact of measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
The labour force participation rate rose 0.3 percentage points from a month earlier to 52.9% in December, data from the Turkish Statistical Institute also showed.
