Yuvadan Ayrılmak: Türkiye'de Gençlerin Ebeveynlerinden Ayrı Yaşamalarını Belirleyen Faktörler Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de gençlerin ebeveynlerinden ayrı yaşama kararlarını belirleyen faktörleri son on yıl kapsamında incelemektedir. Bu amaçla, 2011 ile 2021 yılları arası Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu (TÜİK) tarafından uygulanan Hanehalkı Geliri ve Yaşam Koşulları Araştırması'ndan (HGYKA) alınan veriler kullanılarak gençlerin ebeveynlerinden ayrı yaşama olasılığını etkileyen evlilik harici faktörleri tahmin etmek için logit regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, verideki hanehalkı yapısı incelenerek bağımlı değişken olarak ebeveynden ayrı yaşama durumu ele alınmıştır. Veriler incelendiğinde, son on yılda gençler arasında ebeveynlerinden ayrı yaşama eğiliminin nispeten arttığı gözlemlenmiştir ve bu artış trendine yoğunlaşılmıştır. Bu konuyu incelemekteki amacımız, gençlerin bağımsız yaşama kararı almalarını etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Çalışma sonuçları, gençlerin konut tercihlerinde gelir, eğitim, cinsiyet, yaş, istihdam durumu ve bölgesel farklılıkların önemini göstermektedir. Özellikle, kişisel gelirin gençlik yıllarının ortasından itibaren belirleyici bir faktör olduğunu, erken dönemlerde diğer faktörlerin daha öne çıktığı gözlenmiştir. Buna ek olarak, kadınlar için gelir ve mesleki durumun bahsi geçen diğer faktörlerden daha baskın faktörler oldukları ortaya çıkmaktadır.

Leaving the Nest: Inquiring the Determinant Factors of Leaving the Parental Home for Young Individuals in Turkey

Abstract

This paper examines the determinants of young individuals' decision to leave their parental home in Turkey in the last decade. Using data from the Household Income and Living Conditions Survey (HILCS) from 2011 to 2021, we conduct a logit regression analysis to estimate the probability of young people leaving their parental home for reasons other than marriage. In this regard, we examine the household composition in the data, and we take the situation of living away from parental home as the dependent variable. We observe that the tendency to live independently of parents has increased slightly among young people over the past decade. We examine this new household trend at its outset, and our goal is to identify the factors that lead to the decision of young individuals to live independently. The results show the importance of income, education, gender, age, employment status, and regional differences in young individuals' residential choices. In particular, we show that personal income is a determining factor from mid-youth forward, while other factors predominate in early youth, and, for women, income and occupational status appear to be the dominant factors.
