Abstract (2. Language): 
Saving behaviours of countries are shaped with the effects of the some elements as social policies, age structures, cultures, and so forth. Inherently these elements change country to country. Since the possible European countries saving behaviour variation can be seen as a striking issue, the paper aims to explore and classify the different structured countries. For the purpose the classification process is based on Modigliani’s life-cycle model and performed with robust approach.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Ülkelerin tasarruf davranışları sosyal politikalar, yaş yapısı, kültür ve bunun gibi bazı unsurların etkisiyle şekillenir. Doğal olarak bu farklılıklar ülkeden ülkeye değişmektedir. Zira Avrupa ülkelerinin olası tasarruf yapısı değişikliği dikkat çekici bir konu olarak görülebileceğinden, bu çalışma farklı yapıdaki ülkelerin incelenmesi ve sınıflandırılmasını amaçlar. Bu sebeple, sınıflama süreci dayanıklı yaklaşım çerçevesinde Modigliani’nin yaşam boyu hipotezine dayandırılmıştır.
