    Gender, Age and Income Differences in Internet Usage Among Employees in Organizations
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2010) Akman, Ibrahim; Mishra, Alok
    This paper reviews and discusses Internet issues and reports the findings of a survey concerning the impact of gender, age and income on employees' Internet usage in Turkey. Internet usage was categorized in two empirical factors, namely usage profile (reason for using the Internet, average daily use of the Internet) and usage patterns (average daily use of the Internet for communication/e-mailing/chat, information access/downloading/entertainment and electronic services). The survey was conducted among 200 employees from public and private sector organizations. The results indicated that gender has a positive impact on average daily time spent on the use of the Internet for communication/e-mailing/chat and information access/downloading/entertainment. Age has a positive impact on average daily use of the Internet in general and a negative impact on the use of the Internet for information access/downloading/entertainment. Income was not found to have an impact on empirical factors. Finally, gender, age and income do not have any significant impact on average daily use of Internet for electronic services such as e-commerce/e-shopping/e-banking/e-government.

    A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Income, Consumption and Saving Behavior of Turkish Household
    (Bilgesel Yayincilik San & Tic Ltd, 2009) Cilasun, Seyit Muemin; Kirdar, Murat Gueray
    A cross-sectional analysis of income, consumption and saving behavior of Turkish household This paper investigates the age profiles of income, consumption and saving of Turkish households, compares them to the profiles reported for various developing and developed countries, and evaluates the results within a life-cycle theory framework. These life-cycle profiles are constructed for separate income quartiles and education groups as well as for the whole population. It is crucial to understand the consumption and saving behavior of different income groups in Turkey due to the high level of income inequality. As current income could be affected by temporary income shocks, we use educational attainment level as an instrument for permanent income in analyzing the relationship between income and consumption/saving. Furthermore, the age profiles presented in this study provide us information as to how savings may evolve in the future as a result of changing demographic conditions. In the second part of the study, cross-section profiles of income, consumption, and saving from 2002 to 2006 are compared to see how these profiles have evolved over time.
