HAS TURKEY CONVERGED TO THE EUROPEAN UNION IN TERMS OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT? AN EVALUATION FOR THE PERIOD OF 1980- 2010
Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aims to examine whether Turkey could converge towards the EU-27 average in terms of human development in the period 1980-2010. Turkey had an increase by 1,23% in human development in the period 1980- 2010, while the EU-27 average was 0,55%. As a result, Turkey had a convergence towards the EU-27 average by 0,86 points in terms of human development. GNI per capita, as a subcomponent of human development, is the just field that the gap between Turkey and the EU-27 average widened. In order to close the gap and uplift its human development level, Turkey, no doubt, should have higher growth rates than the EU countries.
