  2. low fertility rates?

    Checked

    high youth unemployment?

    checked?

    young people living with their parents until 30 because they cant afford rent ?

    checked

    university graduates making barely above survival wage?

    checked

    salaries like in Nigeria but supermarket prices like in Germany?

    checked

    Turkey, you’re now officially part of Southern Europe

  4. Unfortunately it’s not in the conservative regions.

  5. That’s great news. There are too many of us on Earth, and our ecological footprint is unsustainable. Reduced fertility is the gentlest way to reduce the population. The other options are much worse.

  7. That’s why Erdogan is allowing millions of refugees to settle in Turkey.

  8. so unless I’m mistaken and please correct me turks if i’m wrong but are the most ‘fertile regions’ for lack of a better word the most Kurdish regions? could this lead to greater instability in the future?

    Do migrants/refugees in Turkey also settle near to the Syrian/Iraqi border when they stay in Anatolia?

  10. Turks don‘t make children. But Kurds and Arabs. What could go wrong?

  11. The global population needs to decline. The more countries that join the decline the better.

    Ethnicity and culture plays a secondary role to the health of this fish bowl we all live in

  12. So what’s the purpose of the breeding infographics? Women can and should live lives outside being just breeders. Plus fertility should probably be defined as feeling comfortable and healthy enough to be able to. But you have increasing problems that don’t give you any financial nor social safety to raise a family. All you have are increasing signs that we’re headed towards neo-feudalism. Why would I bring another soul here to be chained to the same system I’ve been without my consent?

  13. And that’s a bad thing? As of there’s not enough people in the world already

  14. Is the number of children one has how fertility is measured? It seems one could be fertile with no children. I feel like this is how one would measure birth rate, not fertility. While they may be correlated, they’re definitely not the same thing and probably not interchangeable in terminology.

    Someone please explain.

    Or just be upset if you can’t, I guess.

  15. Only few countries outside Africa are above the replacement ratio… we will be a different world in 50 years from now, but unlike it will be my problem… either very much dead or with severe dementia.

  16. So much for the idea that muslim countries would avoid this fate.

  17. Is south east turkey Kurdish or arab dominated area?

  18. How is this relevant to Europe? It would suffice to post information only for the European part of Turkey.

  19. The Turkish lira is collapsing too… Which is likely a major contributing factor.

  20. Wait… now 1.5 children per woman is low? In West Europe it’s almost down to 1.2 and there’s still people complaining that it’s too much.

  21. It’s so bad even the Kurdish and Arab people are having 3-4 children per woman.

  22. India and Africa are doing enough to destroy the world anyway.

  23. The graphic goes parallel with poverty rates, but very different from the percentage of Erdogans votes. The government give out all their money to cities that give most votes for him ( central anatolia, coasts of blacks sea) while giving ridiculously little amounts to parts that are secular, and that also effects the poverty and fertility rate 😉
