The Effect of Social Transfers on Income Inequality and Poverty in Türkiye
This paper examines the effects of social transfers on inequality and poverty in Türkiye. We use Income and Living Conditions Survey that is conducted by TurkStat each year from 2006 to 2018. The social transfers include in cash and in-kind transfers from government to households. The standard budget incidence approach is used in the analysis. The redistribution impact of social transfers is measured using Gini coefficient and Suits coefficient and relative poverty rate. The equivalence scale adjustments are used for inequality and poverty estimations, and it is accepted as relative poverty approach. Pension income is the main factor that influences on reducing inequality and poverty. The inequality-reducing effect of pension income increased over time from 2005 to 2017. We also apply logistic regression analysis for 2018 SILC Survey. According to the logistic regression analysis, social transfers have the effect of reducing the probability of being poor in Türkiye.
期刊介绍:
In the context of rapid globalization and technological capacity, the world’s economies today are driven increasingly by knowledge—the expertise, skills, experience, education, understanding, awareness, perception, and other qualities required to communicate, interpret, and analyze information. New wealth is created by the application of knowledge to improve productivity—and to create new products, services, systems, and process (i.e., to innovate). The Journal of the Knowledge Economy focuses on the dynamics of the knowledge-based economy, with an emphasis on the role of knowledge creation, diffusion, and application across three economic levels: (1) the systemic ''meta'' or ''macro''-level, (2) the organizational ''meso''-level, and (3) the individual ''micro''-level. The journal incorporates insights from the fields of economics, management, law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science to shed new light on the evolving role of knowledge, with a particular emphasis on how innovation can be leveraged to provide solutions to complex problems and issues, including global crises in environmental sustainability, education, and economic development. Articles emphasize empirical studies, underscoring a comparative approach, and, to a lesser extent, case studies and theoretical articles. The journal balances practice/application and theory/concepts.
