Abstract:

 Nearly all countries today deal with poverty and immigration and work to find solutions to these difficulties. This paper is designed to examine the spatial effects of public expenditures and poverty on internal migration in Turkey. According to the findings, poverty reduces immigration. It is seen as a driving force, especially in areas with close neighbors. In addition, the amount of exports, labor force participation rate, population growth and the share of public expenditures in GDP positively affect migration. This relationship is also observed in terms of reference regions and units that are adjacent to these regions. The studys findings offer empirical input for relevant public policies and literature that will be used to fight poverty and migration.

 Günümüzde neredeyse tüm ülkeler yoksulluk ve göç ile mücadele etmekte, bu problemlere çözüm geliştirmeye çalışmaktadır. Bu araştırma, Türkiyede kamu harcamaları ve yoksulluğun iç göç üzerindeki mekânsal etkilerini incelemek amacıyla tasarlanmıştır. Bulgulara göre yoksulluk alınan göçü azaltmakta, özellikle komşuluk ilişkisi içerisindeki bölgelerde itici bir faktör olarak gözlemlenmektedir. Bunun yanında ihracat miktarı, işgücüne katılım oranı, nüfus artış hızı ve kamu harcamalarının GSYİH içerisindeki payı alınan göçü pozitif yönlü etkilemektedir. Ayrıca bu ilişki referans bölgeler ile bu bölgelere komşuluk ilişkisi içerisinde bulunan birimler itibariyle de gözlemlenmektedir. Araştırma sonuçları, göç ve yoksullukla mücadele kapsamında uygulanacak kamu politikalarına ve ilgili literatüre ampirik katkı sağlamaktadır.
