The fix

The change most likely to close the widest crack in Türkiye

Steadier, less fragmented access to food and income support is the lever most associated with improvement here.

Linked to the indicator food insecurity. This is the index pointing forward: not a judgement, but a lever. The estimated impact is published as a direction, not a promise.


The seven indicators

Where Türkiye’s safety net holds, and where it is under strain

Each bar is the indicator normalised to 0–100, direction-corrected so a longer bar always means more cracks. The raw public value and the source year sit beside it.

3 of 7 indicators measuredThe rest is a modelled estimate. Coverage grows weekly as more sources are fetched live.

Problematic debt

weight 19%

Share of households with debts they can no longer repay. The first crack most people fall through, and the one that pushes the others open.

Raw value 21 % of householdssource year 2024Openestimate

Number of evictions

weight 15%

Court-ordered evictions per 10,000 households. A direct measure of how often housing insecurity is allowed to reach its endpoint.

Mental-health treatment gap

weight 15%

Share of people with an identified mental-health care need who receive no care. The distance between needing help and reaching it.

Raw value 33 % unmet needsource year 2024Openestimate

Unmet youth care

weight 12%

Share of young people referred for care who wait longer than the recommended term or are never helped. A crack measured early in a life.

Severe material deprivation

Homelessness

The widest crack in Türkiye is food insecurity, which carries the most weight in raising the composite score. That is what the fix above targets.
