“…However, poverty increases when the increases in the incomes of individuals in lower income groups cannot keep pace with the increase in the poverty line. Accordingly, unlike studies that decompose the change in poverty into two components as economic growth (the effect of the change in mean income) and income redistribution (the effect of the change in income distribution) (Datt & Ravallion, 1992;Fujii, 2017;Kakwani, 2000;Luo, 2022;Shorrocks, 2013;Sahoo et al, 2023;Şeker & Jenkins, 2015), this study aims to decompose the changes in relative poverty in 2013, 2013-2015, 2015-2017, 2019-2021, and 2011-2021, while relative poverty increased for the period 2017-2019. Economic growth, both in nominal and real terms, has always had a decreasing effect on these changes in relative poverty, while the change in the poverty line has always had an increasing effect.…”
