Türkiye’de Çocuk Yoksulluğu: Gaziantep Üzerine Bir Araştırma
Child Poverty in Turkey: A Research on Gaziantep

Summary/Abstract: Children are among the groups the most affected by the household poverty. Children growing up in poverty are significantly deprivied of the rights to health, nutrition and education and face the risks of exploitation, violence and discrimination. Poverty experienced by children causes very serious problems such as child labor, child brides and juvenile delinquency. The high ratio of young population and the poor report of Turkey in the area of child poverty once again show the severity of the problem. In this study, the perspective of multi-dimensional deprivation of migrant households’ children has been presented in Gaziantep, which is the center of attraction for immigrants and the most developed province in the Southeastern Anatolia Region. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 children in the 11-17 age range and their 20 parents and the collected data were assessed by quantitative and qualitative research techniques.
