Because the government is fucking us. That’s the sex we have daily basis. And it’s not productive.
Let me guess, because it was higher than in most of Europe decade ago, and now just caught up with the same civilizational problem as everyone else.
>But the answer is not simple. It is multifaceted
Seems a bit simple. It was significantly higher than the rest of Europe and now is heading towards normal European levels but is still slightly higher.
>“In most European countries, the demographic transition lasted more than a century, whereas in Türkiye it was delayed and unfolded over a much shorter period,”
Turkey is not Europe
I dont know about what the article is about but it is due to a bad economy and living conditions which directly affects people’s “will” to have children.
This is coming from a Turk who is married and dont have a child.
Rampant inflation in Turkey has made it economically impossible for people to afford children… or as many children as in the past.
That’s always going to be the answer (that or war). Historically as well as in modern day.
Just look at historical Japan and China for recorded examples.
Birth rates plunged when Chinese farmers had to sell their land to just afford to eat.
And Japanese peasants would leave their newborns out for the elements to kill when they couldn’t afford them. (search on the term Mabiki for more info)
It is better not to have children than have a bad life quality.
Because the economy in Turkey is bad.
Funny detail. When one looks at the regional figuren of fertility in Turkey, one finds that kurdish regions are, on average, significantly above turkish average, meaning that the kurdish minority will grow rapidly. Within a decade, that will show in the elections too.
49% of women aged 25-34 are graduates of some kind of university or equivalent, a rather different situation to the 11% (for men and women, I can’t find the breakdown right now) when I was 25-34 – about 30 years ago. That might have something to do with it, in addition to what euronews reported, not all of which I agree with.
This is a massive change in one generation.

They got richer.
Social media, feminism, sexual liberation destroyed our society
People saying this is economics, I don’t buy it. So many other countries have good economies and have for awhile all with tanking birthrates. Maybe you’d find some people who’d have kids or more kids, but I don’t think this would make any real dent.
