The Social Impact of the 2008 Global Economic Crisis on Neighborhoods, Households, and Individuals in Turkey
Economic Crises and the Social Structuring of Economic Hardship
Drawing on a growing cross-national literature on the social impact of economic crises, this paper investigates the social structuring of economic hardship among urban households in Turkey following the 2001 economic crisis. My goal is to compare the Turkish crisis to other recent crises, particularly in Latin America and Asia, and to assess competing claims about the vulnerability of different social groups. Using data from the study entitledTur…
Economic Crisis and Marital Problems in Turkey
This paper applied the family stress model to the case of Turkey in the wake of the 2001 economic crisis. Using structural equation modeling and a nationally representative urban sample of 711 married women and 490 married men, we tested whether economic hardship and the associated family economic strain on families resulted in greater marital problems. Our results showed a modified family stress model applies to Turkey. In contrast to most previ…
Religiosity, the headscarf, and education in Turkey
Previous research highlights the continuing relevance of family culture in explaining educational inequalities in Turkey, especially patriarchal beliefs and practices that discourage investment in the education of girls. We extend that research by introducing two much‐debated, but empirically untested, aspects of family culture – parental religiosity and headscarf preferences. An analysis of a nationally representative sample of 15–19 year olds i…
Unemployment, Economic Strain and Family Distress
This essay focuses on economic hardship in the wake of the 2001 economic crisis and the impact of the resulting economic strain on individual and family distress (i.e., stress, emotional distress, physical health, and marital problems). Previous research on the impact of the economic crisis in Turkey has relied on small and non-representative samples or was limited to descriptive analyses. This research analyzes a nationally representative sample…

Gender Inequality in Schooling
Drawing on recent research on education in developing countries, this article examines gender inequality in schooling in Turkey. Using a nationally representative sample of Turkish youths, it assesses the effects of macrostructure, family resources, and cultural attitudes and practices on primary and postprimary school attainment. The results show that while locality, family resources, and family structure and culture influence the education of b…
Modernity, Traditionality, and Junior High School Attainment in Turkey
Social Contexts and Urban Adolescent Outcomes
Multilevel data are used to assess how three interrelated contexts-family, peer group, and neighborhood-influence the social functioning of urban African-American adolescent youth, a group believed to be especially "at-risk" due to high rates of exposure to contextual disadvantage and its associated ills. The analysis is designed to test the various pathways that neighborhoods influence, both directly and indirectly (via their impact on families …

Neighborhood Poverty, Family Characteristics, and Commitment to Mainstream Goals
A causal model is used to understand the direct and mediated effects of neighborhood disadvantage and family structure on youth expectations. Using data obtained from face-to-face interviews with African American mothers and their children, we demonstrate that the employment expectations of adolescents are significantly lower in both nonintact and welfare homes in comparison to youth in other households. In addition, neighborhood disadvantage is …
The Cost of Being Black in the Black Belt
Explanations of earnings differentials typically center on individual differences that affect the status attainment process or on the opportunity structure of local labor markets. Less attention has been paid to the fact that the quality of both the labor force and labor market vary significantly by region, resulting in substantial regional differences in earnings. Using 1980 Public Use Micro Sample data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census, this p…
Race, Region, and Earnings
Using data from the 1980 Public-Use Micro Sample (PUMS) A-file, we examine the effect of region on black and white earnings within the Black Belt and the rest of the South. We find that Black Belt residence depresses earnings for both blacks and whites, more or less equally. There was no support for the hypothesis that there would be a greater penalty to being black in the Black Belt, compared to being black in the non-Black Belt South. It is the…
