Tomorrow it is my turn to post about turkish fertility rates /s
1.51 is proper european fertility
That is one of the sharpest decreases I’ve ever seen. Normally that takes decades, this is 7 years
Well South Korea has 0.68.
So, Turkey is doing relatively good.
Whats that one high province?
Crazy that Bulgaria has higher fertility than Turkey nowadays. Nearly all BG provinces are above 1.7
This ties into my observation that Islam isn’t as good for population growth as it seems. It’s great for births, but it’s bad for development, and the carrying capacity of a country is the true limiting factor for its population size. Hence why the Ottoman Empire was relatively underpopulated compared to Christian Europe. As Muslims face more environmental pressures in the future and Christians/seculars self-select for higher birth rates I’d expect the current growth patterns to reverse.
And this is good news
What are the reasons for this drop? Values are still higher than in western europe, but what’s the explanation? Thanks for any insights.
I wonder how rightwingers will blame it on immigrants this time
Note that 2016 can be counted as a start for current Turkish economic crisis. Many people became more hesitant to raise a child in these conditions, so many families postpones the idea of a having child.
Turkish mentality has changed a lot. Turkish people don’t count themselves as wealthy people, and they actually know that they can’t afford even for a simple kebab, everyone tries to be careful about money.
I need to mention that Şanlıurfa (Urfa for short and real name) is an interesting case. Urfa’s culture and society might be the most affected by the Middle East in Turkey. This graphics clearly points this.

Next step is importing people that hate them to replace the current aging population 🤣
What is the orange region’s name and it’s biggest city in 2023?
Say whatever you want on this, but I’m afraid this is going to be a real problem for demographics in the next few decades.
Don’t get me wrong, by the way, as it has nothing to do with racism nor xenophobia. In fact, if I had to give an example, I’d be worried about the same thing if they’d be Japanese, American, Chinese, whatever you can think of. Race literally doesn’t matter here.
But according to this research, it’s becoming much more of a possibility that Turks are going to be a minority in the next few decades. This isn’t something any country would sincerely want, again, no matter where they come from. Please understand.
Having children? In this economy?
Urfa being Urfa…
You gotta pump those numbers down
What’s with all the fearmongering? It’s finally time that humanity has peaked and is on its way down to a more stable and sustainable level
