Abstract

EFair distribution of opportunities enabled by economic growth to different parts of society is as important as the quantitative increase in growth. It is possible to mention the inclusiveness of growth and an increase in social welfare only if in case of growth accompanied by equal access to these opportunities. It is required to provide sustainable growth by generating and extending new economic opportunities to let each member of the society attend and utilize economic growth. This becomes possible with inclusive growth. Inclusive growth has recently become a core issue in the development strategies of the countries. Each member of the society is enabled to contribute to and make use of economic growth using inclusive growth. The study is important within this scope. Based on this, in this study, the inclusive growth in Turkey is examined in a general and regional framework for the period 2006-2019. In terms of the literature reviewed in this study, it has been observed that there is no study examining convergence in terms of inclusive growth for NUTS Level 1 regions in Turkey. In this sense, it is thought that the study will make an important contribution to the literature. It is aimed in the present study that to observe how inclusiveness of growth has evolved and to examine the situation of NUTS Regions. Based on this, first, the inclusiveness of growth is examined with the method developed by Ali and Son (2007), and then the existence of convergence between regions in terms of equity index of opportunity is tested with the panel unit root test. The findings regarding the country, in general, reveal that there is a decrease in the inclusiveness of growth especially after 2016. According to the equity index of opportunity, TR4 East Marmara Region performs the best, while the worst performance belongs to TR1 Istanbul Region. The convergence results for the equity index of opportunity indicate that the TRC Southeast Anatolia Region converges to the TR4 East Marmara Region, which has the best performance. The results show that real production activities have an increasing effect on equality of opportunity. The findings that inclusive growth occurs unevenly across regions are in line with other studies in the literature.
