Abstract

Using SILC data, we present a general framework for the distribution of poverty in Turkey, over the period 2005-11 in terms of various household characteristics. We further examine those factors in affecting households’ probability of poverty entries and exits. The household characteristics explored in this study are age, education, employment status, social security registration, health status, household size, household composition and, income acquisition status. Consistent with the existing literature, our results indicate that in Turkey, poverty distribution differentiates according to various socio-economic factors, while these factors significantly affect the dynamics of poverty entries and poverty exits.
