In this study I examine the association between disability status and different sources of income. I derive data from the Panel Survey of Income and Living Conditions (SILC) spanning the years 2018 to 2021, which is compiled by the Turkish Statistical Institute (Turkstat). I characterize disability as a limitation in daily activities resulting from either an impairment or a long-term health condition, expected to endure for six months or longer. I use six income types; i) salary and wage, ii) business income, iii) unemployment benefit, iv) retirement pay, v) disability income and vi) other income. In order to overcome potential selection bias resulting from subjective disability, I match disabled individuals with corresponding nondisabled counterparts according to demographic and socio-economic controls. Then I estimate fractional response models with different sources if income as dependent variables. Main findings are as the following: income composition significantly differs among individuals with and without disabilities, income of individuals with disabilities are lower in almost all income types, people with disabilities may offset income losses in specific categories by pursuing alternative sources of income.

Engellilik ile Farklı Gelir Kaynakları Arasındaki Bağlantı: Türkiye Gelir ve Yaşam Koşulları Panel Araştırmasından Kanıtlar

Bu çalışmada engellilik durumu ile farklı gelir kaynakları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemekteyim. Veriler Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu (TÜİK) tarafından hazırlanan 2018-2021 yıllarına ait Gelir ve Yaşam Koşulları Panel Araştırması'ndan (SILC) alınmıştır. Engelliliği, altı ay veya daha uzun süre devam eden veya sürmesi beklenen, bireyin günlük aktivitelerini engelleyen bir bozukluk veya uzun süreli bir sağlık durumu olarak tanımlıyorum. Altı gelir türü kullanıyorum; i) maaş ve ücret, ii) iş geliri, iii) işsizlik ödeneği, iv) emekli maaşı, v) engellilik geliri ve vi) diğer gelirler. Öznel engellilikten kaynaklanan potansiyel seçim yanlılığının üstesinden gelmek için engelli bireyleri, demografik ve sosyo-ekonomik kontrollere göre engelli olmayan benzerleriyle eşleştiriyorum. Daha sonra farklı gelir tiplerinin bağımlı değişken olduğu kesirli yanıt modellerini tahmin ediyorum. Temel bulgular şu şekildedir: Gelir kompozisyonunu engelli ve engelli olmayan bireyler arasında önemli ölçüde farklılık göstermektedir, engelli bireylerin geliri hemen hemen tüm gelir türünde daha düşüktür, engelli bireylerin belirli kategorilerdeki gelir kayıplarını alternatif gelir kaynakları arayarak telafi ettikleri görülmektedir.
