Türkiye'de sübjektif yoksulluk profili: 2003 2008

Bu çalışma Minimum Gelir Sorusu yaklaşımını kullanarak Türkiye için 20032008 yılları arasında sübjektif yoksulluk profilini, hanehalkı büyüklüğü ve kır kent değişkenleri ile Türkiye İstatistik Kurumunun Hanehalkı Bütçe Anketleri ni temel alarak analiz etmekte ve elde edilen sonuçları resmi yoksulluk rakamlarıyla kıyaslamaktadır. Bu amaçla anket örneklemi kullanılarak elde edilen ağırlıklandırılmış regresyon sonuçları ile sübjektif yoksulluk eşiklerine ve oranlarına ulaşılmıştır. Hanehalkı büyüklüğü ve kır-kent değişkenleri dikkate alındığında sübjektif yoksulluk oranlarının resmi yoksulluk oranlarından daha yüksek düzeyde olduğu gözlenmiştir.
