Hanelerin Kamu Sosyal Yardım Muhtaçlık Düzeylerini Etkileyen Faktörlerin Belirlenmesi: Antalya İli Konyaaltı İlçesi Örneği - TÜRKİYE

Çalışmanın ana amacı; hanelerin, kamu sosyal yardımına muhtaçlık düzeylerinin ve bunu etkileyen başlıca faktörlerin belirlenmesidir. Çalışma verileri, kamu sosyal yardımlarından yararlanan hanelerden yüz yüze anket yoluyla toplanmış ve veri analizinde çok terimli lojistik regresyon modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; bir hanenin sosyal yardıma muhtaç olma olasılığının, yaşlı ve engelli yardımlarından ziyade aile yardımlarından yararlanması durumunda artacağını ancak hane halkı bireylerinin aylık gelirinin 1 TL-Lira artması durumunda hanenin sosyal yardıma muhtaç olma olasılığının azalacağı görülmüştür. Ayrıca hane reisinin yaşı bir yıl artarsa, hanedeki birey sayısı bir kişi artarsa, eğer hane yaşlı ve engelli yardımları yerine aile yardımı alırsa; hanenin “az muhtaç” düzeyden ziyade sosyal yardıma “çok muhtaç” düzeye geçme olasılığı daha yüksek olacaktır. Araştırma sonuçları, Türkiye’de daha verimli kamu sosyal yardım uygulamaları için politika belirleyicilere yarar sağlayacaktır.

Determining the Factors Affecting the Levels of Need for Public Social Assistance of Households: Insights from the District of Konyaaltı, Antalya - TURKEY

The main purpose of the study is to determine the levels of need of the households for public social assistance and the main factors affecting it. The study data were collected through a face-to-face survey with the beneficiaries of public social assistance and multinomial logistic regression model was used for data analysis. The results revealed that the households would be needy rather than less needy of social assistance if they receive family benefits rather than if they receive elders and disabilities benefits, but this probability would decrease if the monthly income of the individuals in the household increases by 1 TRY-Lira. In addition, the households would be more likely to move to the level of “highly needy” rather than “less in need” of social assistance if the age of the head of the household increases by one year, the number of individuals in the household increases by one person and if the households receive family benefits instead of elderly and disabled benefits. The findings of study would enable policymakers to improve public social assistance practices in Turkey.
