In this context, a panel data analysis are carried out considering the data obtained for the years 2006-2016 belonging to the sub-regions of Turkey regarding the effects of inflation and unemployment on poverty rates. The findings show that in the long run, the effect of inflation on poverty is negative and that of unemployment is positive. In other words, it can be stated that inflation increases in the long run have decreased poverty and unemployment has increased.
