- Abstract
This study analyzes how equivalence scales affects poverty values measured within the framework of monetary approach. In this study, poverty indicators and equivalence scales which are currently in widespread use were selected. Poverty indicators were estimated for Turkey based on these selected equivalence scales using the "TSI Income and Living Conditions Survey 2010 Micro Data Set (Cross Section)" for Turkey. It was found out that there are significant differences among poverty indicators calculated with different equivalence scales and these differences are even more when calculations were made for rural and urban areas. All these equivalence scales were developed by the developed countries and international organizations. Considering that developing countries have more rural population, this study reveals that using of these equivalence scales creates rather different results for developing countries. This study emphaizes the importance of considering the effect of equaivalence scales in the monetary estimation in developing countries.
