ABSTRACT The problem of unrecorded employment can cause serious results on the socio-economic structure and public finance of a country. This problem has reached to an unavoidable level in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). According to the study, the amount of unrecorded workers for the year of 2000 has been found as 21,000. The estimated economic loss of this employment approximately constitutes 6,4 % of GNP, 14 % of public revenues, 75 % of public deficit and 80 % of public investments. The aim of this study is to examine the impacts of unrecorded employment on the country as explained above and makes recommendations accordingly.

World population has been growing in recent years. This growing population has a problem with enough nutrition. Because of the restricted agricultural lands, necessity of getting more output with the same amount of input has been going out. In this way, scientific and technological studies try to find out to produce more goods with high quality, in the same restricted agricultural lands. Agriculture has gained an important role for the effective use of land. The aim of this study is to examine the importance of productivity in agriculture, towards sustainable development of North Cyprus. In this respect, the comparative analysis of agricultural sector productivity in the Northern Cyprus and European Union (EU) has been conducted. In North Cyprus most agricultural products and its prices are strongly affected by transport cost as well as import tariffs. General structure of the agriculture sector in North Cyprus is based on insufficient production with very low efficiency. To give an answer to demand of market, agricultural production must transfers from traditional agricultural production techniques to modern production techniques with high-level use of technological equipment. The study suggests that planned agricultural production is the only way to reach sustainable development. As a conclusion, the study emphasized the importance of the agricultural productivity, towards sustainable development of North Cyprus.
