In the late modern period, as individuals break away from traditional attachments, the "self" becomes reflexive. The phenomenon of individualization, which has become the subject of discussion in the international literature with globalization, is mostly based on declassification thesis, and it is thought that the flexible labor market is one of the main factors in the realization of individualization. Competition, higher education and mobility intensities, which are required by neoliberal capitalism in the labor market and have an individualizing effect, tend to increase today. In Turkey, the increase in the number of university graduates in recent years has made the employee group called whitecollar, participating in employment based on brain power, important. In this context, white-collar workers are expected to be a social group in which individualization is observed higher. Understanding how individuation is experienced and its social consequences gains importance today as concerns for the future increase. This study aims to convey the theoretical framework of individualization, which is lacking in the Turkish literature, to show its relationship with the labor market and to present data on the phenomenon of individualization in Turkey. Within the scope of the study, the relationship of individualization with the labor market is discussed in the context of macro-scale changes in late modernity. In this study, which is based on in-depth interviews with a group of white-collar workers and focuses on the micro-scale social reflections of individualization, the primary group relations and social environments of white-collar workers, their self-realization processes, reflexivity and their position in the labor market are examined. While the study shows strong findings about the existence of individualization in white-collar workers, it opens new problems created by individualization to discussion. According to the results of the field study, it is seen that the white-collar workers have become normless in the flexible labor market both in terms of labor law, workplace and working hours, they struggle with the problems in business life individually, the class consciousness is weakened and the individualization, which is strengthened by the labor market, is effective in many areas of white-collars' lifeworlds.
