Türkiye’de Sektörel Eşitsizlikler ve Sayısal Bölünme İlişkisi

Öz

Eşitsizlikler sosyal ve ekonomik yapıyı olumsuz etkileyen faktörlerin başında gelmektedir. Eşitsizlikler bağlamında kişisel, bölgesel ve küresel boyutta, gelir eşitsizliklerin incelendiği araştırmalarda, sektörel analizlere nadiren rastlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, çalışan sayısı, ücretler, üretim değeri ve katma değer göstergelerinin yanı sıra bilgisayar ve internet kullanımları ile web sayfası sahipliğinde, sektörler arası ve sektör içi eşitsizlik düzeylerinin ve eşitsizlikler arası ilişkilerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Eşitsizlik seviyelerinin belirlenmesinde Gini yöntemi, eşitsizlikler arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek için korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda sektörler arası eşitsizliklerin en fazla üretim değerlerinde, en düşük bilgisayar kullanımlarında olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
