Absztrakt

This study introduces a method for measuring standard of living, based on a three-dimensional model. The authors argue that their proposed indicators (and items) can more realistically capture people’s inability to afford an adequate way of living than the ones Eurostat uses and recommends. The commonly used deprivation measuring method has a unidimensional perspective and provides only a general overview of those living in deprivation. The authors’ multidimensional approach, however, considers not only the well-known aspects of human life but also others, giving a more extensive view of individuals’ needs. The calculations are based on the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions database provided by Eurostat and the relevant Turkish data­base from the Turkish Statistical Office. The decomposite method introduced in the study measures standard of living using three dimensions, economic strain, living conditions, and housing and environmental conditions.
