description The economic structure of societies has an impact on the working hours spent to generate an income. While an increase in income due to more working hours encourages people to work more in societies that generate more income with the same amount working hours, it leads people to work less and increase their leisure time preferences in some other societies. The aim of the study is examine the impact of the change in workers’ income and economic crisis in the Turkish economy on leisure preferences through manufacturing sub-sectors of Turkey. In the study, firstly the concept of leisure time is explained, then the relation between income changes and leisure time is established. The effects of the changes during 2003-2015 were tested econometrically by Panel Data Analysis method. The manufacturing sub-sectors were included in the analysis in two parts as labour-intensive and capital-intensive sectors. Thus, the income levels of the employees of the manufacturing industry are separated into lower income group and upper income group. According to the results of the analysis, working hours fall as income increases at lower income levels-labour intensive sectors- (income effect) whereas working hours increase as income increases at higher income levels -capital intensive sectors- (substitution effect). Accordingly, in Turkey, while the income effect on labour-intensive sectors appears to be valid, the substitution effect appears to be valid in the capital-intensive sectors. Compared with other studies in the literature, it is understood that income level variance is one of the factors that affect leisure time preferences in Turkey.
