Summary/Abstract: Unfair distribution of income and poverty are the common problems of all countries in these days. Therefore, local or global plans must be arranged concerning the solution of the problems of unfair distribution of income and poverty by considering the effects of both issues to each other. Unfair distribution of income and poverty is seen to a certain extent in Turkey as well as in the world. Although unfair distribution of income and poverty seemed relative rise with the effect of global crisis, recovery in income distribution, relative decrease in absolute poor number and poverty ratio have been witnessed in Turkey. Economic and politic stability, provided after the crisis of 2001, and the rise in social welfare contributed to this positive process. However, the amount of rise of social welfare is not sufficient. Permanent solutions must be generated to the process of challenging with unfair distribution of income and poverty.
