The findings of this study show that there is a significant relationship between the level of mechanization in agriculture and the rate of agricultural employment in the long run. Another result is the effect of productivity on agricultural employment. According to findings, there was no long-run relationship between productivity and agricultural employment. However, productivity in the short run affects the rate of agricultural employment. Finally, it is observed that the average income affects the employment rate negatively in long run in agriculture sector in Turkey.
