This paper examines the path of the regional inequalities in

Regional Human Capital Distribution and Disparities in Turkey

“…Numerous researchers have examined the influences on these regional inequalities, including research by Filiztekin () and Gezici and Hewings () on income differences; Akgüngör () on sectorial inequalities; Tansel and Gungor () and Çelebioğlu and Dall'erba () on educational level; Ocal and Yıldırım () on terrorism; and Karaca () on public investments. Several studies, such as that by Karahasan and Uyar (), also sought to investigate the regional distribution and evolution of human capital disparities in Turkey at the provincial level.…”

“…In research with a country‐level focus, McHenry () studied regions within the United States, López‐Rodríguez et al . () looked at Romania, Kerimoğlu and Karahasan (2011) examined Spain, Karahasan and Uyar () investigated Turkey, and Heckmann () focused on China.…”

Sosyal Politika Perspektifiyle İstihdamın GSYİH nın Bölgesel Dağılımından Sağladığı Sosyal Refah Düzeyleri (2004-2014) - Social Welfare Levels Provided by Employed in the Perspective of Social Politics from the Regional Distribution of GDP (2004-2014)

Likewise, Karahasan (2015) has argued that polarization has become permanent in regional wages, based on the findings of the analysis carried out in another study. However, the same author has not been able to identify that regional inequality has increased in both studies, and has argued that the low level of income in the poorer regions has become permanent.…”

“…Ayrıca 2011'den bu yana sadece 2004 ve sonrası veri setine dayalı bölgesel eşitsizliği analiz eden en az sekiz çalışma daha tarafımızca tespit edilmiştir (Bkz. Abdioğlu ve Uysal, 2013;Karahasan, 2015;Uyaner ve Volkan, 2016;Gündem, 2017;Gömleksiz ve Diğ., 2017;Karahasan, 2017;Tuğrul, 2017;Karaca, 2018 Çalışmada kullanılan istatistik yöntem, Atkinson bölgesel eşitliksiz endeksi yaklaşımıdır. Atkinson bölgesel eşitsizlik endeksi, çok sayıdaki tekli eşitliksiz endeksinden birisidir.…”

“…In addition, since 2011 there have been at least eight more studies analyzing regional inequality based on the 2004 data set and later. These are: Abdioğlu and Uysal, 2013;Karahasan, 2015;Uyaner and Volkan, 2016;Gündem, 2017;Gömleksiz et al, 2017;Karahasan, 2017;Tuğrul, 2017;Karaca, 2018.…”
