2
Why a Time – Income Nexus I
• Poverty lines are supposed to reflect the command
over a minimum quantity of goods and services that
is necessary for survival
• A certain minimum quantity of time must be
devoted to household production for the typical
household to reproduce itself as a unit
• US thresholds implicitly assumed “that a household
with income equal to the poverty standard must
have a person working full time in the home to be
nonpoor” (Clair Vickery 1977: 30)
Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş

3
Why a Time – Income Nexus II
• The time requirement for household production
must be explicitly taken into account because some
households may not be able to meet that
requirement and may not have sufficient income to
purchase the requisite market substitutes
• For such households, the standard poverty lines do
not represent the command over a minimum
quantity of goods and services
• Ignoring time deficits leads to inconsistency:
thresholds presuppose the time requirement but
the definition of resources ignores time availability
Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş

• Average weekly hours
by persons 18 to 70

– Time for personal care
(time-use data)
– Time for minimum

Poverty-level household production
requirements I
• Households differentiated by the number of
adults and children (12 groups); and rural/urban
location
• Average weekly hours of household production
for households that have
– Consumption near the official poverty line, so as to
gauge poverty-level time requirements;
– At least one nonemployed adult present, so as to
ensure that the requirements are derived from
households that are not as likely to be suffering from
time deficits.

Time deficit and consumption poverty

Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş

10
Two-dimensional poverty measure
Household: Consumption-poor if household consumption is less
than the consumption poverty threshold adjusted by the time
deficit; time-poor if any of the members have a time deficit.

Individual: Consumption-poor if household consumption is less
than the consumption poverty threshold adjusted by the time
deficit; time-poor if she has a time deficit.

Empirical methodology II : Valuing time
deficits, poverty line and consumption
• Valuing time deficit
– No data on domestic workers
– Average hourly wage of workers "similar" to domestic workers
(HBA)
– 3.48 liras nationally; 4.14 liras for urban and 2.54 for rural areas

• Poverty line
– Average caloric norm for adults (2450 kcal)
– Official equivalence scale
– Average values: 404 for 1-person HH, 611 for 2-person HH, 911
for 4-person HH etc.

• Consumption expenditures
– Official definition (excludes durables)

29
Probable-hours work simulation
• What will be the picture of consumption and time poverty
if every employable adult who is currently non-employed in
consumption-poor households were to work under the
existing pattern of employment and earnings?
• Household income and thus consumption would increase in
households with employable adults
• The time allocation of individuals in households with
employable adults would change
• Some of the newly employed adults and their household
members may face increased time deficits
• The increase in household consumption due to increased
earnings would be offset to some extent by increases in
time deficits
Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş

30
Effects of employment

•
•
•

A = Available time; Lf = Full-time work; Y0 = Standard consumption poverty line;
y0CD = LIMTIP poverty line
Z = Observed position of the household (consumption-poor, time-nonpoor)
Zacharias and Masterson (Levy
Institute), Emel Memiş (Ankara University)

31
Probable-hours work simulation
• Outline of method
1. Assign most likely jobs (earnings and usual
weekly hours) to eligible non-working adults in
consumption-poor households
2. Re-assign household production hours to all
adult members of households with job recipients
3. Adjust household consumption expenditures for
households with job recipients
4. Re-calculate LIMTCP for all recipient households

Understanding the hard-core poor
• Households with no additional employable adults (18 to 70 years
old)
– 72.5 percent of hard-core poor households (89.7 percent in urban
areas and 58.8 percent in rural areas)
– Why do they have no additional employable adults?
• Disabled, retired, in school, or in the military (minor factor)
• Already employed (94.4 percent of all adults in hard-core poor households)

• Households with additional employable adults
– Additional earnings are insufficient to close the income poverty gap
– Why?
– Existing patterns of pay are heavily biased against people with
characteristics of the additional employable adults in hard-core poor
households

Summary
• Employment does offer a way out of
consumption poverty for some households
• Many households already have all adults
employed
• Most of the non-employed adults in
consumption-poor households are unlikely to
get a good-paying job

Zaman açığı ve yoksulluk: Levy Enstitüsü Zaman ve Tüketim Yoksulluğu ölçümü Türkiye değerlendirmesi

  • 1. Time Deficits and Poverty: The Levy Institute Measure of Time and Consumption Poverty for Turkey Ajit Zacharias and Thomas Masterson, Levy Economics Institute of Bard College Emel Memiş, Ankara University and Levy Economics Institute of Bard College Prepared for the conference “New Perspectives on Poverty Measurement” Ankara, February 20, 2014
  • 2. Outline • • • • Motivation of Project Theoretical Framework and Data Results Conclusions Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş 2
  • 3. Why a Time – Income Nexus I • Poverty lines are supposed to reflect the command over a minimum quantity of goods and services that is necessary for survival • A certain minimum quantity of time must be devoted to household production for the typical household to reproduce itself as a unit • US thresholds implicitly assumed “that a household with income equal to the poverty standard must have a person working full time in the home to be nonpoor” (Clair Vickery 1977: 30) Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş 3
  • 4. Why a Time – Income Nexus II • The time requirement for household production must be explicitly taken into account because some households may not be able to meet that requirement and may not have sufficient income to purchase the requisite market substitutes • For such households, the standard poverty lines do not represent the command over a minimum quantity of goods and services • Ignoring time deficits leads to inconsistency: thresholds presuppose the time requirement but the definition of resources ignores time availability Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş 4
  • 6. • Average weekly hours by persons 18 to 70 years – Time for personal care (time-use data) – Time for minimum leisure and nonsubstitutable activities (assumptions) Urban Rural Personal maintenance 89 87 Personal care 79 77 Necessary minimum leisure 10 10 7 7 96 94 Nonsubstitutable household activities Total Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş 6
  • 7. Poverty-level household production requirements I • Households differentiated by the number of adults and children (12 groups); and rural/urban location • Average weekly hours of household production for households that have – Consumption near the official poverty line, so as to gauge poverty-level time requirements; – At least one nonemployed adult present, so as to ensure that the requirements are derived from households that are not as likely to be suffering from time deficits. Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş 7

  • 9. Person’s share in the total hours of household production (percent), persons 18 to 70 years Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş 9
  • 10. Time deficit and consumption poverty Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş 10
  • 11. Two-dimensional poverty measure Household: Consumption-poor if household consumption is less than the consumption poverty threshold adjusted by the time deficit; time-poor if any of the members have a time deficit. Individual: Consumption-poor if household consumption is less than the consumption poverty threshold adjusted by the time deficit; time-poor if she has a time deficit. Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş 11
  • 12. Empirical methodology I : statistical matching Survey subject Name Sample size Income and Expenditure HANEHALKI BÜTÇE ANKETİ - MİKRO VERİ SETİ, 2006 (HBA) 34,939 persons in 8,556 households. There were 24,867 individuals aged 15 years or older. Time-use 16,413 persons in 4,345 ZAMAN KULLANIM households. Completed time ANKETİ - MİKRO diaries were available for VERİ SETİ, 2006 10,893 individuals that were 15 (ZKA) years or older. Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş 12
  • 13. Empirical methodology II : Valuing time deficits, poverty line and consumption • Valuing time deficit – No data on domestic workers – Average hourly wage of workers "similar" to domestic workers (HBA) – 3.48 liras nationally; 4.14 liras for urban and 2.54 for rural areas • Poverty line – Average caloric norm for adults (2450 kcal) – Official equivalence scale – Average values: 404 for 1-person HH, 611 for 2-person HH, 911 for 4-person HH etc. • Consumption expenditures – Official definition (excludes durables) Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş 13

  • 26. Probable-hours work simulation • What will be the picture of consumption and time poverty if every employable adult who is currently non-employed in consumption-poor households were to work under the existing pattern of employment and earnings? • Household income and thus consumption would increase in households with employable adults • The time allocation of individuals in households with employable adults would change • Some of the newly employed adults and their household members may face increased time deficits • The increase in household consumption due to increased earnings would be offset to some extent by increases in time deficits Zacharias, Masterson and Memiş 30
  • 27. Effects of employment • • • A = Available time; Lf = Full-time work; Y0 = Standard consumption poverty line; y0CD = LIMTIP poverty line Z = Observed position of the household (consumption-poor, time-nonpoor) Zacharias and Masterson (Levy Institute), Emel Memiş (Ankara University) 31
  • 28. Probable-hours work simulation • Outline of method 1. Assign most likely jobs (earnings and usual weekly hours) to eligible non-working adults in consumption-poor households 2.
