abstract: 'Inequalities in work time might provide important insights on how

  poverty is experienced by people. Despite the growing body of literature

  on poverty and intra-household allocation of resources in Turkey, the

  linkages between poverty and inequalities in time use have not been

  studied empirically using nationwide data. We look at how distribution

  of paid and unpaid work burden differs between households of different

  income levels using the first and the single national time use survey in

  Turkey. Our results reveal one hidden dimension of poverty; a time

  deficit alongside the more obvious income deficit. We also find that the

  effects of time poverty are felt more severely by women, given the

  already uneven distribution of unpaid work within the Turkish household.

  We conclude that social policies targeting not only income but also time

  poverty, like provision of public care services for children and

  elderly, may have a double effect by relieving unpaid time burden of

  women and increasing female labor market participation, and therefore,

  increasing household income further. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights
