Abstract

Toplumsal,
siyasal veya ekonomik nedenlerle bireylerin aynı ülke sınırları içerisinde
yaşadıkları yerleşim yerlerini bırakarak başka bir yerleşim yerine gitmelerini
ifade eden iç göçler, sonuçları itibari ile hem göç alan bölgeleri hem de göç
veren bölgeleri etkilemektedir. Zamana ve mekana bağlı olarak bölgesel
farklılaşmaları beraberinde getiren iç göçler, nüfusun yeniden dağılımıyla
bölgesel bazda sosyal ve iktisadi farklılaşmalara neden olmaktadır. Bu
çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de iç göçlerin bölgesel eşitsizlik üzerindeki
etkisinin analiz edilmesidir. Bu kapsamda iç göç hareketlerinin eşitsizlik
üzerindeki etkisi panel veri ekonometrisi ile analiz edilecektir. Göç
istatistikleri için 2008-2015 yılları arasında düzey 1 bazında göç verilerinden
faydalanılmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları şu şekildedir: Verilen iç göçler
bölgesel eşitsizliği artırmakta, alınan iç göçler ise bölgesel eşitsizliği
azaltmaktadır.
