An overview of Türkiye’s population on the 100th anniversary of the Republic - 2023.
50
The Republic of Türkiye will celebrate its 100th anniversary in October 2023. Since its foundation, the country’s population has grown from 13.5 million in the first census in 1927 to 84.7 million in 2021. The total fertility rate has dropped from 6 births per woman to fewer than 2 over the same period. With a steady decline in mortality, the population is beginning to show the first signs of ageing. Additionally, Türkiye, once a country of origin, has gradually become a transit and host country for migrants, mainly from Syria and other Middle Eastern countries. The intention to emigrate from Türkiye is high among young people due to the uncertainty of the country facing economic crises and high unemployment.
