“…Additionally, since Turkish SMEs have limited know-how, lack of enough skill level and the amount of capital, and lack of access to modern technology; they face difficulties in accessing finance (World Bank, 2011). The long-term strategy on training, R&D, administrative regulations, competitive policy, labor market, social policies and the national banking sector requires the participation of Turkish SMEs in the financial markets (Seker & Jenkins, 2015).…”

Küresel finansal krizle birlikte belirsizlikler artmış, böylece, sermaye yapısı kararları Türk firmaları, özellikle küçük ve orta ölçekli (KOBİ) firmalar için çok önemli hâle gelmiştir. KOBİ'ler daha yüksek bilgi asimetrisi, işlem maliyetleri ve riskle karşı karşıya olduğundan, finansal piyasalardaki kargaşa sırasında finansmana erişimde daha fazla güçlükle karşılaşırlar. Bu incelemede, Türk firmalarının sermaye yapısı kararlarından elde edilen bulguları karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz ediyoruz. Tahmin edilebileceği gibi, ciddi kriz koşullarında KOBİ'lerin Borsa İstanbul'da listelenen firmalardan daha fazla önlem almasını bekliyoruz.

“…Yani çocuk sayısındaki artış yoksul olma riskini arttırmaktadır. Şeker & Jenkins (2014) 1986-1987, 1990-1991, 2001-2002 Pakistan Hanehalkı Kırsal Anket verileri kullanılmıştır. Lojistik regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre hanehalkı büyüklüğü ve bağımlılık oranı yoksul olma riskini arttırırken eğitim, sermayenin varlık değeri, para transferleri, çiftlik hayvanlarının değerindeki artışlar toprak sahiplerinin yoksul olma riskini azaltmaktadır.…”

“…Yani çocuk sayısındaki artış yoksul olma riskini arttırmaktadır. Şeker & Jenkins (2014) çalışmalarında 2003-2011 dönemi için Türkiye'de yoksulluk trendini incelemişler ve bu dönemde toplam yoksulluk oranı %35,2'den %24,1'e azaldığı, mutlak yoksulluk oranı %46,2'den %16,3'e azaldığı ve göreli yoksulluk oranında ise çok fazla bir değişme olmadığı belirtilmiştir. Bu çalışmaya göre Türkiye'de yoksulluk sorununda asıl itici güç ekonomik büyümedir.…”

This study investigates the factors that determine the relative household poverty which prevents the growth of social welfare in Turkey. For this purpose, Turkish Statistical Institute (Turkstat) (2017) Income and Living Conditions micro dataset was used. The poverty line was calculated by using 60% of the household median income. In the binary logistic regression analysis, poor and non-poor shares of population was determined according to the poverty line and used as the dependent variables. Household demographic characteristics, labour market conditions and geographical characteristics were employed as explanatory variables. The estimation results indicate that education, age, formal employment, and employment in industry sector decreases relative household poverty. On the contrary, unemployment, causal employee, marriage and household size increase the risk of household poverty.

“…In fact, the consumption levels of the poorest groups in rural Turkey have declined between 2003 and 2006. In another study, Seker and Jenkins (2013) investigates poverty trends in Turkey between 2003 and 2011. According to their study, the absolute poverty declined rapidly between 2003 and 2008 but fell only slightly between 2008 and 2011.…”

This study analyzes income distribution types, both individual and functional, in terms of the first and the last quintiles in Turkey from 2006 to 2015. In this respect, the study first reveals how income types represented by functional income distribution are distributed for the first and last quintiles. Secondly, the inequalities arising within different income types obtained by the respective income quintiles are involved to the analysis. TURKSTAT Income and Living Conditions Survey dataset has been used in the study. With regards to methodology, first the variations that occurred in the shares obtained by households in different income categories for the first and last income quintiles have been used from 2006 to 2015. The improving or deteriorating effects of the relevant income quintiles on income inequality have been put forth for these variations. Then, the Lorenz curves and the Gini coefficients have been used to assess the distribution within each income category. According to the findings of the study, items that increase income equality for the first quintile are salaries and wages, pensions and survivors' benefits, property income and other social transfers. On the other hand, casual incomes, entrepreneurial incomes, household transfers and rental incomes are the income categories that deteriorate income equality against the first income quintile. While wages and salaries have a positive effect on establishing income equality within this category, rental and property income are the types of income that reveal the most unequal distribution within themselves.
