Higher Participation but Lower Pay? Occupational Segregation and the Wage Penalty in Turkey
Wage returns to human capital resulting from an extra year of primary school
Higher education expansion and women’s access to higher education and the labor market
Unlevel Playing Field
We investigate the socioeconomic determinants of early childhood development (ECD) in Türkiye, focusing on maternal education and household wealth, using representative microdata from the 2018 Türkiye Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS), which collected data on the developmental status of young children aged 36–59 months for the first time. Using this data, we construct an ECD index based on four developmental domains (i.e., literacy-numeracy, p…
The Making of a “Lost Generation”
Millions of children are forcibly displaced worldwide due to wars, civil conflicts, and natural disasters. Displacement disrupts the lives of children making child labor a serious risk. However, little is known about this topic due to the difficulty of finding datasets for this population. In this study, we use a large representative dataset of Syrian refugees in Turkey, the largest refugee group in any single country, to examine the incidence of…
Down and up the “U” – A synthetic cohort (panel) analysis of female labor force participation in Turkey, 1988–2013
Social Policy and the Dynamics of Early Childhood Poverty in Turkey
This paper analyses the dynamics of child poverty in Turkey using a nationally representative four-year panel. The results show that 51.4% of 0-6-year-olds are touched by poverty over a four-year period, which is substantially higher than the cross-sectional head count ratio of 32.2%. Totally 30% of the poor children or 15.4% of the child population experience poverty for the entire observation window. Furthermore, nearly half experience severe m…
The impact of household income on child labour in urban Turkey
The aim of this study is to investigate the determinants of child labour in urban Turkey with a special reference to low household income or poverty as one of its root causes. Studies done elsewhere have produced mixed results which necessitate the relationship to be studied at country-level. The data from urban Turkey indicate that children from poorer families stand at a higher risk of employment. This finding is confirmed using various measure…
Imputed Rents and Regional Income Inequality in Turkey
Dayioğlu M. and Başlevent C. (2006) Imputed rents and regional income inequality in Turkey: a subgroup decomposition of the Atkinson index, Regional Studies 40, 889–905. The purpose of this study is to examine the regional differences in the effect of home ownership on income distribution in urban Turkey. The earlier finding that income distribution improves with the inclusion of imputed rents from owner-occupied housing has raised the question a…
