This groundbreaking volume researches the lives of gecekondu
settlers in the capital city of Turkey in order to understand how
households cope with poverty and why some households are more
successful than others in reducing their deprivation. It takes a
critical stance towards existing conceptions such as household
survival, livelihood and coping strategy and develops an
alternative model based on four types of household response to
poverty: income generation, income allocation, consumption and
investment. In explaining household responses and their outcomes
for poverty, the book demonstrates the role of different resources
beyond income including social, economic and cultural capital. It
emphasises broader structural factors such as labour market
processes and state policies which influence the availability
and/or benefit delivery capacity of household resources, and
thereby moves beyond the dominant view which overemphasises the
resilience of the poor. Gender divisions within the household are
also examined. The book adopts an innovative method for measuring
poverty. The new method combines 'objective' and subjective
dimensions of deprivation to develop a unique way of addressing two
central questions: what are those standards of living whose absence
indicates deprivation, and how can the value of each standard of
living be determined?
