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 while self-producing rural households are as vulnerable to basic needs poverty as other rural households, they are much less vulnerable to food poverty. These results underscore the importance of the ability to consume self-produced food as a vulnerability-mitigating strategy even in middleincome countries.

Time poverty and the poverty of economics
Ghosh, Jayati (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2001-4)
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 gend...
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 ...
The Representation of the poor in islamic tv series: the case of "beşinci boyut"
Yücel, Yunus; Erdoğan, Necmi; Department of Media and Cultural Studies (2016)
The question of poverty which is a result of capitalism is one of the biggest problems in the world and Turkey; and one of the best ways in order to understand the relation between dominant Islamist ideology and capitalism is to search how dominant Islamist ideology sees the question of poverty. This thesis, tries to explore how the question of poverty is encoded and how the poor is represented in Beşinci Boyut which is one of the Islamic TV series. In order to show that the role of Islamist discourse in th...

The effect of the global financial crisis on household income, inequality and poverty in Turkey
Şeker, Sırma Demir; Dayıoğlu Tayfur, Meltem (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2016-4)
Using a nationally representative large scale micro data, we investigate the effect of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) on household income, inequality and poverty in Turkey. In assessing the impact of the GFC, we take 2007 (pre-crisis year) as the benchmark and compare 2009 to 2007 and to 2011 (post-crisis period). We find that (real) household disposable income drops by 3.6 percent from 2007 to 2009, but that the decline in equivalized income is lower at 1.2 percent. Income inequality decreases over...
