Özet
This study seeks answers to whether ageing is related to poverty or not in terms of socio-demographic variability in terms of Türkiye, a developing country. The study is based on 1,512 reference people randomly selected from seven provinces of Türkiye in October 2021-January 2022, and generalised, hierarchical, and logit log-linear model analyses were examined. It is determined that the age factor has the most decisive impact on poverty compared to the other variables. The gender-based poverty analysis results show that equality between women and men is close. The income levels of educated individuals younger than 65 are insufficient to meet living costs.
