abstract: 'Drawing on a growing cross-national literature on the social impact of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
economic crises, this paper investigates the social structuring of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
economic hardship among urban households in Turkey following the 2001
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
economic crisis. My goal is to compare the Turkish crisis to other
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
recent crises, particularly in Latin America and Asia, and to assess
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
competing claims about the vulnerability of different social groups.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using data from the study entitled Turkish Family Life under Siege a
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nationally representative sample of urban households of work-aged
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
married couples the results paint a picture of widespread social
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
devastation as measured by key labor market outcomes: job loss,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
unemployment duration, earnings instability, and under-employment. The
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
findings suggest that existing patterns of social inequality related to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
class and status education, age, ethnicity, and occupation were
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
reinforced and exacerbated by the 2001 macro-economic crisis. In
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
contrast to claims that the impact was skewed towards higher
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
socio-economic groups, the brunt of the 2001 crisis was felt by
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
disadvantaged social groups with few assets to buffer economic hardship.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Economic hardship was higher among labor force participants who are
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
younger, less educated, male, Kurdish-speakers, private-sector
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
employees, and residents of non-central regions. I discuss the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
implications with respect to the previous research on economic crises,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the role of Turkish contextual factors, and the need for social policy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
reform, particularly in the context of the current global economic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
crisis.'
