Özet:

The importance of retirement systems is increasing worldwide. However, financial sustainability-focused pension reforms may make it difficult to these goals. In the 1999/2008 retirement reforms, the parametric changes based on financial sustainability in Turkey came to the forefront. On the other hand, in the period 2002-2018, regulations were made to increase monthly rates. The Eurostat statistics show that the age poverty in Turkey is higher than in many European countries, while in the age group of 50-64, Turkey is better. In the study, the monthly retirement, widow / orphaned monthly, property / disabled monthly and 65 year old monthly sections are analyzed on the basis of age group and gender and the purpose of the retirement systems in Turkey is to reveal the impact on age poverty and retirement poverty. In this context, the data from the 2017 Income and Living Conditions Research, which includes approximately 22 thousand households and 78 thousand individual data made by the Turkish Statistical Authority (TÜIK), were studied using the STATA program by the method of cut data analysis. The results of the analysis show that their monthly payments significantly decrease retirement poverty and elderly poverty. However, the high percentage of the population outside the pension scope and the low percentage of the 65 years of age are effective in the high percentage of elderly poverty.
