This study aims to analyze rural household work and leisure time and how it is allocated among various activities and by socio-economic characteristics of individuals. The analysis is based on a survey carried out in two central Anatolian villages. Three time use questionnaires are administered between May-October 2003 during two different days of the week, an ordinary weekday and the day of the local bazaar. 138 household members from these two villages have participated in the survey. It is found that on the average, the villagers spend over half of their nonsleeping time on non-economic activities including personal development. The remaining time spent on agricultural and non-agricultural economic activities is about the same. Males on the average spend more time on all activities than females except for personal development. The results show that, time use patterns change during different days of the week and months of the year. It is also found that, there is a high correlation between time use patterns and socio-economic characteristics of the households. In general there are statistically significant differences in the average time devoted to activities by education and age groups. Finally, significant differences are observed in the time use patterns rather than magnitudes by gender. As expected, differentiation in men’s and women’s roles is observed in agricultural activities

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND PERCEPTIONS OF NEIGHBORHOOD WALKABILITY AMONG TURKISH WOMEN IN LOW AND HIGH SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTS: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY
Yildirim, G.; İnce, Mustafa Levent; Muftuler, M. (2012-10-01)
The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of physical activity exercise stages of change, and perceptions of neighborhood walkability among Turkish women who were living in low and high socio-economic (SES) environments. The participants included 188 women in low SES and 206 in high SES environments, between the ages of 18 and 65 years. The Low SES group had a higher rate of inactivity, and relative to the High SES group, was less likely to rate the neighborhood environment as promoting and suppor...
Socio-Economic Factors Affecting Early Childhood Health: the Case of Turkey
Karaoglan, Deniz; Saraçoğlu, Dürdane Şirin (2018-06-01)
In this study we examine the association between parents' socioeconomic status (SES) and childhood health in Turkey, a middle income, developing country using the 2013 round of Demographic Health Survey (DHS) data set. In our investigation, we focus on 7-to-59-month-old children and as a measure of health status, we use the height-for-age z-score, which is the measure of stunting and wasting. In order to overcome the biases with respect to age and gender, we calculate the child's standardized height measure...
Household Structure and Household Income and its Components over the Life-Cycle in Turkey
Kırdar, Murat Güray; Cilasun, Seyit Mümin (Iktisat Isletme ve Finans Dergisi, 2013-7-1)
In this study, using the 2003 Turkish Household Budget Survey, we investigate the life-cycle profiles of household income and its components by educational attainment, compare these profiles with those reported for various developed and developing countries, and interpret our findings within the life-cycle framework. A key aspect of our analysis is that we examine the link between household structure and household income over the life-cycle. The main finding of the study is that household income profiles co...
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...
Quality of life in an ageing society A comparative analysis of age cohorts in Turkey
ARUN, ÖZGÜR; Cakiroglu-Cevik, A. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-12-01)
The aim of this study is to bring into focus the living conditions of the older adults in Turkey by using quality of life (QoL) criteria through which to highlight dimensions relating to their QoL status in comparison to other age cohorts. Are there specific QoL issues among older adults that would indicate that they display systematic differences in comparison to other age cohorts in Turkey? To what extent are there gender differences among older adults in QoL status? Data from the EQLS conducted in 2007 p...
