This research aims to determine the proportion of overeducated individuals with higher education levels compared to their colleagues who are graduates of associate, undergraduate, and postgraduate education but work at the same status in entry-level jobs. Overeducation rates in entry-level jobs in Türkiye were determined using the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) Household Labor Force Surveys (2014-2019) microdata set. The job analyst measure was used to determine the rate of overeducation. Logistic regression data analysis was conducted to classify the variables that predict the state of being overeducated with the TUIK 2019 Household Labor Force Survey. According to the findings, overeducation rates increased gradually over the years by 8.02% in 2014, 8.98% in 2015, 9.78% in 2016, 10.43% in 2017, 11.00% in 2018, and 12.5% in 2019. For the state of being overeducated, various demographic variables were analyzed and predicted, such as income, age, region, gender, ISCED, marital status, firm size, place of work, additional job searches, ISCO 08 classification, and employment status.
