The paper analyzes the impact of economic growth, inflation, and temporary employment on youth unemployment in Poland and Türkiye in 2000–2023. The main aim is to determine the short- and long-term impact of the GDP growth rate, the inflation rate, and the proportion of temporary employment on the youth unemployment rate. An econometric analysis was conducted on 2007–2020 data using the ARDL Bounds Test method. It found that while economic growth reduces youth unemployment in both countries, a rise in inflation appears to increase it. It further found that an increase in temporary employment increases youth unemployment in Poland, but that this is not significant in Türkiye.
