In the same time period, the reduction in poverty in rural areas has been slow or non-existent. As a result, the relative risk of poverty has increased in this time period for those employed in agricultural sector, living in rural areas and in large households. Inequality in urban areas has decreased as a result of high growth in the consumption levels of the urban poor compared to richer deciles, while no significant changes to inequality measures have been noted in rural areas. In fact, the consumption levels of poorest groups in rural Turkey have declined between 2003 and 2006. Child poverty has also been persistent in this time period, with the relative risk of poverty for children (ages0-19) increasing over time.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGGREGATE LEVELAGGREGATE POVERTYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL WORKERSANNUAL GROWTHBASIC EDUCATIONCASH TRANSFERSCHANGES IN POVERTYCONSUMPTION AGGREGATECONSUMPTION EXPENDITURECONSUMPTION GROWTHCONSUMPTION PER CAPITACONSUMPTION POVERTYCORRELATES OF POVERTYCUMULATIVE DISTRIBUTIONDECLINE IN POVERTYDENSITY FUNCTIONDEPENDENT VARIABLEDETERMINANT OF POVERTYDETERMINANTS OF POVERTYDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT RESEARCHDISTRIBUTIONAL CHANGESDRIVERS OF POVERTY REDUCTIONECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC CRISESECONOMICSEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEMPLOYMENT STATUSEXPLANATORY VARIABLESFOOD BASKETFOOD COMPONENTSFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD EXPENDITURESFOOD ITEMSFOOD POVERTYFOOD POVERTY LINEFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICESFOOD SHAREFORM OF POVERTYFORMS OF POVERTYGEOGRAPHICAL REGIONSGINI COEFFICIENTGINI INDEXGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHEADCOUNT POVERTYHEADCOUNT RATIOHEALTH INSURANCEHIGH GROWTHHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD COMPOSITIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME LEVELSINEQUALITYINEQUALITY CHANGESINEQUALITY LEVELSINEQUALITY MEASURESINFORMAL SAFETY NETSLAND OWNERSHIPLAND SIZELANDHOLDINGSMEAN GROWTHMEAN INCOMEMEASUREMENT OF POVERTYMICRO DATANATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY LINEOUTPUT GROWTHPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPER CAPITA INCOMEPOORPOOR HEALTHPOOR LIVINGPOOR PEOPLEPOOR POPULATIONPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY CHANGESPOVERTY COMPARISONSPOVERTY DATAPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATEPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATESPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MEASUREMENTPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY PROFILESPOVERTY RANKINGSPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY SEVERITYPOVERTY STATUSPRICE STABILITYREDUCTION IN POVERTYREGIONAL DISPARITIESREGIONAL PRICERELATIVE RISK OF POVERTYRURALRURAL AREASRURAL FINANCERURAL FINANCIAL MARKETSRURAL HOUSEHOLDRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INEQUALITYRURAL POORRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYRURAL SECTORSCHOOLINGSIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONSOCIAL SECURITYSQUARED POVERTY GAPSTANDARD TOOLUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN AREASURBAN POORURBAN POVERTYVULNERABILITY TO POVERTYVULNERABLE GROUPSWELFARE INDICATORWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/27836
