Abstract (2. Language): 
in this paper, our purpose is to construct the two-sector Harris-Todaro Mo¬del with effıciency wage considérations to détermine wage and employment structure for the Turkish Manufacturing Labour Market. Then, we examine briefly the effect of a number of changes in the parameters of the model on equilib¬rium. The model assumes that economy is divided into an urban manufacturing sector and rural agricultural sector. Efficiency wage models can explain why pri¬mary sector firms pay more than market-clearing wage in the dual labour market. Dual (segmented) labour markets can arise if the wage-productivity relationship is more important in some sector than others. High wages and job rationing can emerge in the primary sector where monitoring, turnover, and selection issues are important, while a secondary sector where efficiency wage considerations are less serious, may act a competitive labour market. Hence, in the manufacturing sector (primary sector), worker efficiency is expected to be labour augmenting. However, workers' effort level is independent of the wage in agricultural sector (secondary sector). Since the nature of the work performed is completely diffe¬rent. In this model, rural-urban migration is assumed to take place until there is equality between the actual rural wage and expected urban wage and it is also as-sumed that efficiency wages in the manufacturing sector encourage the rural-ur¬ban migration.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışmada, Türk işgücü Piyasasının ücret ve istihdam yapısını belirle¬mek amacıyla iki sektörlü etkin ücret eklentili Harris-Todaro Modeli oluşturul¬muştur. Daha sonra, denge durumundaki modelde, bazı parametrelerdeki deği¬şimlerin etkileri kısaca gözönünde bulundurulmuştur. Model, ekonominin biri kentsel kesim diğeri de kırsal kesim olmak üzere iki kesimden oluştuğunu varsa¬yar. Eğer ücret-verimlilik ilişkileri bazı sektörlerde diğer sektörlere göre daha bü¬yük önem taşıyorsa 'İkili (Dual) İşgücü Piyasalarından hareketle, birincil sektör olarak kabul edilen imalat sanayinde işçilerin etkinliği emek eklentili (labour augmenting) nitelikte olduğu varsayılır. Tarım kesimi tarafından temsil edilen ikincil sektörde, ücretler esnek olduğundan, işgücü arzı ve işgücü talebine eşittir. Tanm kesiminde yapılan işlerin doğası gereği imalat sanayiinden tamamen fark¬lı olduğundan, çalışanların efor seviyeleri tarım kesimi ücretlerinden bağımsız¬dır. Bu modelde, kırsal kesimden kente göçün, mevcut kırsal ücretle, beklenen kentsel ücret arasındaki fark giderilip eşitlik sağlanıncaya kadar devam edeceği varsayıbr. İmalat sanayiinde ücret yapısını belirleyen etkin ücretlerin kırsal ke¬simden kente göçü özendirdiği kabul edilir.
