Abstract

The aim of this study is to propose a new public support program for the economically active poor. In 2011, it was estimated that there were about 4.292 thousand economically active poor people in Turkey. When dependent family members are also taken into account, the poor concerned reaches to an even greater number. However, the public programs for these poor people to alleviate the poverty in Turkey are quite inadequate. Thus, the anti-poverty program, proposed in this study, aims to provide a public support to move on the poor to at least the poverty line set by Turkey Statistics Institute. The results obtained show that the financial cost of this anti-poverty program with regards to public finance requirement is not very high.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı iktisaden faal yoksullara yönelik yeni bir kamusal destek programı önermektir. Ülkemizde 2011 yılında iktisaden faal olan yaklaşık 4.292 bin yoksul kişi olduğu tahmin edilmektedir. Söz konusu yoksullar, bağımlı aile fertleri de dikkate alınırsa, daha da büyük bir sayıya ulaşmaktadır. Ancak ülkemizde söz konusu yoksul kesime yönelik yoksulluğu hafifletici kamusal programlar oldukça yetersiz düzeydedir. Bu gerçeklikten hareketle, bu çalışmada önerilen yoksullukla mücadele programı, söz konusu yoksulları, en azından Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu’nun belirlediği yoksulluk sınırının üstüne taşıyacak kadar bir kamusal destek sağlamayı hedeflemektedir. Ulaşılan bulgular, söz konusu yoksullukla mücadele programının, kamu finansman gereksinimi açısından, finansal maliyetlerinin çok yüksek olmayacağını göstermektedir.
