In this paper I take up one particular aspect of deprivation that is often ignored or given less significance in discussions relating to poverty and inequality: that of time poverty. I will argue that ignoring this important dimension of poverty results from a related and possibly more substantive deficiency: the inadequate conception of what constitutes work that underlies much of our empirical data collection and our policies and programmes. This in turn has many adverse implications in terms of gender differences in recognised and unrecognised work as well as the health and productivity of the workers themselves. Ignoring this critical issue of time poverty generates misconceived policy formulation that can even worsen the well-being of those that the policies are intended to benefit.

Self-produced food and vulnerability to poverty in Turkey
Tekgüç, Hasan (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2013-12-1)
Investigating vulnerability to poverty is crucial to the development of forwardlooking policies to fight poverty. I investigate the consumption of self-produced food as a strategy available to households to mitigate vulnerability in two dimensions: food and non-food consumption. First, I show that the consumption baskets of rural households that produce their own food are different and less expensive than those other rural households, which rely exclusively on retail food purchases. Second, I also show that...
Missing links in poverty analysis in the age of neoliberal globalization: Some lessons from Turkey
Şenses, Fikret (2008-03-01)
The main objective of this essay is to point out the missing links between neoliberalism on the one hand, and a comprehensive analysis of poverty and effective policies to tackle it, on the other. After identifying the main channels through which neoliberalism affects poverty, I will draw attention to the inadequacy of the neoliberal approach in coming to terms with the main reasons behind poverty, as well as in developing a comprehensive and effective mechanism for its alleviation. I emphasize the role of ...
Microcredit to women as a poverty alleviation tool: the case of turkish grameen microcredit programme in Diyarbakir
Çakmak, Dicle; Hoşgör, Hatice Ayşe; Department of Sociology (2012)
Alleviation of poverty has become a major issue in the agenda of many countries and there is a search for a cure for this issue in social policy environment. For the last few decades, i.e., since the establishment of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, microcredit programmes have been used an important tool that is used to combat increasing poverty in both developing and developed world. The importance of this tool also comes from the fact that the target group of microfinance institutions is mainly women. The popu...
Bringing classes back into poverty discussions
Özgün, Gizem; Dolcerocca, Antoıne (2023-1-17)
The 1980s saw a shift in the emphasis of discourse on poverty from production relations to consumption relations, with levels of consumption and purchasing power used to define poverty. Based on this concept, much of the research establishes absolute poverty lines or develops relative indicators to distinguish between “poor” and “non-poor.” This paper makes the case that such poverty measurement, while useful for assessing trends over the long term or taking into account relative dynamics, distorts our know...
World bank's changing approach to poverty from a neoliberal to a third way approach: the case of Turkey
Bademci, Emine; Kalaycıoğlu, Hediye Sibel; Department of Sociology (2007)
This study aims to understand and explain World Bank’s changing approach to poverty since 1990. Established as a development institution and as one of the leading members of development community, the World Bank has nearly turned out to be a poverty alleviation institution especially from late 1990s on. This change is a reflection of a process in which the Bank shapes its approach to poverty not only in accordance with its own goals but also in the framework of what happens in wider social, economic and pol...
