The Ministry of Labor of the Turkish government imposes a minimum wage for workers in Turkey, which increases annually according to the inflation rate in the country. This wage is 2825 Turkish liras for the year of 2021, equivalent to 330 US dollars. However, the average per capita income in Turkey varies a lot between one city and another, yet, it can be at any point between 500-600 US dollars.
The typical family expenditure in Turkey varies according to the cities, as the cities of the Turkish East are characterized by very low prices due to the lack of job opportunities there, unlike the Turkish West cities which are high and rich in both prices and job opportunities.
