Abstracts

PL

W dzisiejszych czasach problem ubóstwa stanowi jedno z najważniejszych wyzwań do rozwiązania, i stosuje się różne strategie, aby mu przeciwdziałać. Wydatki społeczne są jednymi z najważniejszych zmniejszania ubóstwa i zwiększania dobrobytu. Podczas gdy część literatury omawia wpływ konkretnych rodzajów wydatków społecznych na ubóstwo, większość sugeruje, że wydatki społeczne odgrywają kluczową rolę w redukcji ubóstwa. Chociaż wiele instytucji i organizacji społecznych, to państwo odpowiada za znaczną część wydatków społecznych w Turcji i na świecie. Od 2002 roku publiczne wydatki społeczne znacząco wzrosły w bardziej stabilnym okresie w Turcji w porównaniu z poprzednimi latami. Dlatego ważne jest zbadanie wpływu wydatków społecznych na ubóstwo i ich skuteczności. Niniejsze badanie ma na celu analizę wpływu wydatków społecznych sektora publicznego na ubóstwo w Turcji w latach 2006-2021. Badanie analizuje związek między wydatkami społecznymi na zabezpieczenie społeczne/pomoc społeczną, edukację i usługi zdrowotne a wskaźnikiem ubóstwa w 50% i 60% gospodarstw domowych, korzystając z analizy danych panelowych. Zgodnie z wynikami, odnotowano odwrotny związek między wydatkami na usługi edukacyjne, wydatkami na zabezpieczenie społeczne/pomoc społeczną a wskaźnikami ubóstwa 50% i 60%. Jednakże, nie zaobserwowano statystycznie istotnego związku między usługami zdrowotnymi a wskaźnikami ubóstwa.

Nowadays, the problem of poverty is one of the most important challenges to address, and various strategies are employed to combat it. Social expenditures are among the most significant approaches to reducing poverty and increasing welfare. While some literature discusses the effects of specific types of social expenditures on poverty, the majority suggests that social expenditures play a vital role in poverty reduction. Although many institutions and organizations contribute to social expenditures, the state is responsible for a significant portion of social spending in Türkiye and the world. Since 2002, public social expenditures have significantly increased during a more stable period in Türkiye compared to previous years. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the impact of social expenditures on poverty and their effectiveness. This study aims to analyze the effect of public sector social expenditures on poverty in Türkiye from 2006-2021. The study examines the relationship between social expenditures for social security/social assistance, education, and health services and the poverty rate of 50% and 60% of households using panel data analysis. According to the findings, an inverse relationship was found between education services expenditures, social security/social assistance services expenditures, and both the 50% and 60% poverty rates. However, no statistically significant relationship between health services and poverty rates was observed.
