Income Distribution in Turkey in 2024

SUMMARY

The section analyzes income distribution in Turkey in 2024, comparing it with previous years to identify trends and disparities:

• The Lorenz Curve based on KONDA Barometer data (2022 - 2024)
• The share of total income held by each 20 percent segment of the population, ranked by per capita income
• Trends in the P80/P20 ratio over the last 8 years

In the past year in Turkey, when households are ranked from lowest to highest income, the share of total income received by the first 20% and the second 20 percent has increased, while only the share of the top 20 percent bracket has decreased. According to the P80/P20 ratio, another indicator expressing inequality in income distribution, income inequality has decreased compared to the previous year.
