Potential Impact of Daycare Closures on Parental Child Caregiving in Turkey
AbstractDaycares closed on March 16, 2020 in Turkey to prevent the spread of COVID-19. At the same time, the two most common nonparental childcare arrangements in Turkey—care of children by grandparents and nannies—became undesirable due to health concerns and in some cases also unfeasible due to the partial lockdown for individuals under the age of […]

Gendered Patterns of Time Use over the Life Cycle
AbstractUsing data from the 2006 Turkish Time-Use Survey, we examine gender differences in time allocation among married heterosexual couples over the life cycle. While we find large discrepancies in the gender division of both paid and unpaid work at each life stage, the gender gap in paid and unpaid work is largest among parents of […]

Πόσο φτωχή είναι η Τουρκία και τι μπορεί να γίνει
AbstractH μέτρηση της σοβαρότητας της φτώχειας σε μια δεδομένη χώρα πρέπει να εξετάζει με έναν αρκετά περιεκτικό τρόπο το κατά πόσο τα άτομα και τα νοικοκυριά ξεπερνούν κάποιο βασικό όριο όσον αφορά την υλική ευημερία. Ωστόσο, αν και αυτό το σημείο πιθανώς να φαίνεται προφανές, στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις οι επίσημες μετρήσεις της φτώχειας αποτυγχάνουν αυτή […]

How Poor Is Turkey? And What Can Be Done About It?
AbstractGauging the severity of poverty in a given country requires a reasonably comprehensive measurement of whether individuals and households are surpassing some basic threshold of material well-being. This would seem to be an obvious point, and yet, in most cases, our official poverty metrics fail that test, often due to a crucial omission. In this […]

Time Deficits and Poverty
AbstractOfficial poverty lines in Turkey and other countries often ignore the fact that unpaid household production activities that contribute to the fulfillment of material needs and wants are essential for the household to reproduce itself as a unit. This omission has consequences. Taking household production for granted when measuring poverty yields an unacceptably incomplete picture, […]

Changes in Global Trade Patterns and Women’s Employment in Manufacturing
AbstractThe purpose of this study is to explore the employment effects of changes in manufacturing output resulting from shifting trade patterns over the period 1995–2006. For 30 countries (21 OECD and 9 non-OECD countries) we estimate the changes in embodied labor content due to trade using factor-content analysis, breaking up the sources of these changes […]

Time and Consumption Poverty in Turkey
AbstractThe Levy Institute Measure of Time and Consumption Poverty (LIMTCP) is a two-dimensional measure that takes into account both the necessary consumption expenditures and the household production time needed to achieve a minimum standard of living—factors often ignored in official poverty measures. In the case of Turkey, application of the LIMTCP reveals an additional 7.6 […]

Φτώχεια χρόνου και κατανάλωσης στην Τουρκία
AbstractΤο Μέτρο Φτώχειας Χρόνου και Κατανάλωσης του Levy Institute (LIMTCP) είναι ένα δισδιάστατο μέτρο που λαμβάνει υπόψη τόσο τις απαραίτητες καταναλωτικές δαπάνες όσο και το χρόνο που απαιτείται από τα νοικοκυριά για την επίτευξη ενός ελάχιστου επιπέδου διαβίωσης, παράγοντες που συχνά αγνοούνται από την επίσημη μέτρηση της φτώχιας. Στην περίπτωση της Τουρκίας, η εφαρμογή του […]

The data used in this study come from the first and only time-use survey available at the national level. Infrequency of collection of time-use data in Turkey does not allow us to make a direct […]

Time and Poverty from a Developing Country Perspective
AbstractThis study is concerned with the measurement of poverty in the context of developing countries. We argue that poverty rankings must take into account time use dimensions of paid and unpaid work jointly. Reviewing the current state of the literature on this topic, our methodology introduces a critical but missing analytical distinction between time poverty […]

The Unequal Burden of Poverty on Time Use
AbstractThis study uses the first time-use survey carried out in South Africa (2000) to examine women’s and men’s time use, with a focus on the impacts of income poverty. We empirically explore the determinants of time spent on different paid and unpaid work activities, including a variety of household and individual characteristics, using bivariate and […]
