Making use of raw data from an official income distribution survey which provides information on cash and in-kind incomes of household members and imputed rents for home-owners, it is found that home-ownership has an equalising effect on income distribution in the urban areas of Turkey. This result is attributed to the fact that many low-income families reside in squatter housing built at the outskirts of large cities.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle2-s2.0-1364428374310.1080/0042098042000309685451Q13142Q1WOS:000226803900002
