The Importance of Socio-Demographic Indicators in Regional Disparities in Turkey, 1990-1994

Year 2002, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 263 - 275, 16.08.2002

Abstract

The aim of this study is to test the relative importance of the socio-demographic versus economic variables in discriminating the inter-regional differences in Turkey in 1990-94.

Our findings show that the "socio-demographic" variables are much more significant than the "economic" variables. Among the socio-demographic variables, especially those variables related with female education, fertility and household size are the most effective variables rather than the economic variables, in the explanation of the differences between the regions in Turkey.

In this study, univariate analyses as well as the discriminant and factor analyses are applied in total of five different methods. The tests are carried out for the three and two regions. Our data sources are the various publications of State Institute of Statistics (SIS) and State Planning Organization (SPO). The regional data are the unweighted arithmetic mean of the respective provinces.

Türkiye’de Bölgesel Farklılaşmada Sosyo-Demografik Değişkenlerin Önemi, 1990-1994

Year 2002, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 263 - 275, 16.08.2002

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de bölgeler arası farklılaşmada ekonomik ve sosyo-demografik değişkenlerin göreceli olarak önemini irdelemektir. Bölgesel gelişme ve bölgeler arası farklılaşma çalışmalarında halen, genel olarak, ekonomik değişkenlerin insani ve toplumsal gelişmişliği gösteren sosyal değişkenlerden daha etkili olduğu düşüncesi vardır. Bundan dolayı, devlet, geliştirdiği politikalarda, yaptığı yatırım ve parasal harcamalarda ekonomik faktörlere sosyo-demografik faktörlerden daha çok önem vermektedir.

Bulgularımız ise bize “sosyo-demografik” değişkenlerin “ekonomik” değişkenlerden çok daha fazla etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Bölgeler arası farklılaşmada, sosyo-demografik değişkenler içinde, özellikle, kadınlarla ilgili eğitim değişkenlerinin ve doğurganlık oranı değişkeninin daha önemli olduğu görülmüştür.

Çalışmada, tek değişken analizlerin yanısıra diskriminant analizi ve faktör analizi teknikleri beş ayrı metot kullanılarak üç ve iki bölge için tekrarlanmıştır. Analizlerde kullanılan değişkenler, 1990-94 yıllarına ait olup, Devlet İstatistik Enstitüsü (DİE) ve Devlet Planlama Teşkilatı (DPT)’ndan; bölgelere ait veriler ise, illerin verilerinin aritmetik ortalamaları alınarak elde edilmiştir.
