Abstract:

In this study, the demographic factors affecting poverty in Turkey have been examined regionally in the context of households responsible. For this purpose, TIK 2017 households come and probit analysis is applied to the data collected from the survey of living conditions. The dependent variable is defined as 2 categories according to the limit of poverty. The explanatory variables are the household population, the age, gender, basic activity status, civil status, whether the official marriage is, the level of education and general health status. When the findings were evaluated, the gender, civil status, whether or not the official married and health status of the family’s poverty for all regions did not show significant differences. Another important conclusion is that the highest level of education of the household responsible is the reduction of the risk of poverty.
