I immediately noticed lot of hate on the AI images. I get a lot of requests to make the videos more audio-visually compelling and I thought this might be an interesting thing to try. If you hate it, I do not have to do it. But sometimes I am looking for a picture of something that I just can not find on the free stock image platforms. I will make a poll on the issue.

Bulgaria's fertility rate in 2023: 1.75 Turkey's fertility rate in 2023: 1.51 ... I never thought that we would live in a timeline where a country like Bulgaria with a depressing Demographic history would surpass a country like Turkey with historically high birth rates.
Yeah and if you count only ethnic Turks then their fertility will be close to that of Germans or Japanese. It's so surprising their fertility has declined that much
Low fertility rates have strong relation with socialist policies. Huge taxation, no private property, supression of free speech and many other things from socialism are taking its toll
can you make a vide about the demographics of rroma in the balkans especially romania and bulgaria? Some people here in romania say that htey would become a majority because of their higher birthrates
@@bingchilling4717I can’t speak for every country but in my country Roma mortality is at 50s unfortunately Roma face discrimination till this day and unless it becomes normal to get education and free healthcare I don’t see this situation changing soon
Declining population is not an issue. We never needed this many people in the past. We'll manage. The real issue is making sure your culture, country and people aren't replaced and slowly genocided.
It 100% is. If you want to keep your culture and people, then you need a growing population to rival any enemy populations that could hold soft power or be able to invade the country with superior demographics. There has never been a great country in history with shitty demographics or one who has conserved its values and people.
@anonmonyous. In modern economic times, there is no economic model which can withstand a population decrease and not collapse on itself. I agree with you so much that culture, the country and people are the most important. I also understand that replace a local population is a horrible thing. But again, no economic used in today's world can survive population decrease without total collapse. So what nations have to figure out is why their people aren't having kids and find ways to remedy the situation. Short of that, all options are the poison pill, including the option you gave.
It’s just a neoliberal fail-safe. ‘Overpopulation…don’t have any kids if you’re European.’ ‘Oh no you aren’t having kids, bring in the third world.’ ‘But what about automation/AI?’
You are seriously underestimating all of this if you don’t think population decline is an issue. With less and less young people and more and more old people in the future the pension system will collapse in many developed countries (as they rely on a regular influx of new workers). Schools will have to shut down or combine as there will be less and less children being enrolled each year. There will be a gradual but enormous reduction in the amount of young people entering colleges for highly skilled jobs like engineering, the medical field, construction, etc. The elderly population will become a huge burden since there will be very few young people to take care of them. And there will be vast remains of dead cities and ghost towns across many countries. And you are right about making sure cultures aren’t replaced or end up fading away. But that isn’t the real or only issue. It’s one of many issues clumped together with a vast amount of others listed above.
This is the best video I've seen about Turkey's demographics. It was so good that it pushed me to write something about it. Just as not everyone living in Eastern Turkey is Kurdish, not everyone living in the developed metropolitan regions of Turkey is Turkish either. Nearly half of the Kurdish population lives in the mentioned developed western regions. As it is said in the video, there are 2 million Kurds (and i believe they're more than 2 million) in Istanbul alone. So, while the TFR of the Turks is the same as the Japanese, the TFR of the Kurds is most likely a little bit below 2.1. The part missed in the video is: The migrations to Turkey in the last 10 years, the fact that these migrations will continue to increase, and the high birth rates of these immigrants (almost 5 children per woman). Based on this, it can be predicted that in the next 50 years, Turkey will turn into an ideal(!) multicultural country where no single ethnic group will form the majority (%50+). It is clear that the indigenous ethnic groups in Turkey (Turks, Kurds, Zazas, Laz, Circassians etc.) will become minorities. The possible consequences of such a major demographic change (increasing crime rates, socio-cultural change, political instability, potential civil war, etc.) make me terrified as a Turk living in Turkey. I am quite sure that in the long run, an extremely bad fate awaits us. This country will either collapse like the Ottoman Empire, or it will accept its multiculturalism and become a kind of Anatolian Confederation where many different ethnic groups are forced to live together, like Pakistan. And eventually it will be like Pakistan. In any case, i believe a very uncertain and gloomy future awaits people in Turkey.
I think you had a mistake mixing the so called 'black Turks' and kurds. Erdogan is a conservative and islamist yes but he is not kurdish and not everyone voting for erdogan are kurds. contrarily kurds dont vote for erdogan they vote for hdp. conservative and islamist people vote for erdogan and I dont think its appropriate to describe most of them are less educated and poor. There are educated and rich people voting for erdogan too.there are Turkish nationalist voting for erdogan too somehow. Its like people voting for angela merkel's party christian democrat party in germany. I dont think most of them are poor and less educated. they are just christians and conservatives. In Turkey, people voting for Erdogan are mostly conservatives and liberals and rightists. People voting for CHP are leftists. and it doesnt mean you are educated if you drink alcohol. and civilization does not belong to 'europe' or the 'west'. we can be civil and not 'european'. and there are no 'BLACK Turks' in Turkey. you just made it up. there are brown kurdish and arabic people. there can be wheat skinned Turkish people. It is a result of 'anatolian' DNA and J2 haplogroup. Greeks and south italians are also have J2 haplogroup. So if you want to call that people 'Black' you have to call greeks and south italians, 'black' too cause they have the same skin tone and haplogroup as this people.
J2 is a Middle Eastern haplogroup and it's the most common among Iraqi and Levantine Arabs as well as among Iranians. > we can be civil and not 'european'. Only East Asians can be that
I mean, probably didn’t help that Western Europe stole a noticeable amount of educated Turks. Additionally, I recently saw a statistic that about 50% of young Turks between 16 and 29 wanted to leave Turkey for greener pastures (namely Western Europe, the US and Canada) which will likely make these issues even worse both demographically as well as politically. Those going to leave are likely „white Turks“. The whole „the religious will inherit the earth“ probably doesn’t help either. If we look at India, the politics became notably more Hindu-nationalist when the west started stealing every even slightly liberal, westwards thinking Indians from the academic elite for their own economic prosperity. And with no one in the elites left to resist, more extreme nationalists parties have it easy. It’s likely that Turkey going to go a similar path.
Nobody is "stealing" migrants. Countries would be screaming blue murder if they couldn't export their excess population, India especially. Many countries have economies dependent on remittances from their diaspora. The Philippines has a government department dedicated to exporting workers and migrants.
I predict in the next 10-15 years will be a huge remigration back to their countries. 7 million Turks in central Europe will be needed in Istanbul to maintain the Turk majority.
@@wexqlp3863 45% of all babies born in S.E Anatolia have serious birth defects caused by cousin marriage. Good luck holding an ak with your 3 fingers, baran.
Surprised you said nothing about the millions of Arab refugees in Turkey. They have higher birthrates but there is a lot of tension between them and the Turks.
There are 3 core political and social cleavages in Turkey: secular/religious, Turk/Kurd, and Sunni/Alevi. It’s interesting to see how the demographic changes you mention will influence these cleavages.
Turkey's demographic structure has been further disrupted by Syrians and other immigrants. There are 15 million refugees and asylum seekers. Many of them have been granted citizenship. Now there is a refugee problems.
You said that the meiji restoration was far bigger and more successful than Atatürks reforms, which is ridiculous. The element of religion is what makes Atatürks feat absolutely incomparable and far more impressive than that of the Japanese. Japan went from a traditionalist monarchy to an industrialized monarchy. Turkey went from an islamic caliphate with sharia law, completely agrarian economy and medieval society to an egalitarian laicistic democratic republic with a modern industrial economy integrated into the global market and extremely high literacy for both genders. Turkey went from one end of the ideological spectrum to the other, it's like if the papal state became an atheist communist technocracy
Japanese reforms stayed and even continued, whereas Turkey started reverting and hasn't stopped since Menderes. The immediate impact of Atatürk's reform was arguably stronger, but they were not realistic, since they didn't take into account how the population will respond it. He also never had a real plan as to how to democratize the country; he was just in love with the ideals of democracy. In the end, all it resulted was in unhealthy expectations from the state from all sectors of society, and the subsequent populism facilitated by these attitudes.
Japan could progress without as much problem due to not living near oil-rich sheikhs pumping religious propaganda under protection from their superpower masters, not to mention an entirely uniform ethnic composition of about 99% Japanese.
The Turkish government does not care too much for domestic politics or economics as long as it does not interfere with their global military ambitions! They are building incredible military capabilities in the heart of NATO, but not for NATO!
Quite to the contrary, they don't care about what happens to Turkey, so long as it does not interfere with their plundering operation. AKP is a criminal gang founded to plunder Turkish lands. That, and staying in power to continue doing that, is their sole aim.
3:28 "Within one country there are provinces with demografic profiles as different as those of Iraq and Italy" No truer words have been spoken about Turkey. Yes this is a very clear summary of what Turkey is. The video seems nice in general but it does lack the other demographic aspect of comtemporary Turkey, which is the Immigrants and Refugees. The overall picture you get will be very different when you take account all the syrians, afghans, nigerians, bangladeshis etc in Turkey. Turkey nonsensically resembles western europe in that regard. Mass immigration causing rents to soar, leading to unemployment, causing irreversible changes to our society and demography etc. Greetings from Thrace, Turkey
The Kurds are certainly above 18% of the population. There are at least 22 million Kurds or half-kurds (with one of the parents Kurdish) in Türkiye and so they represent roughly a quarter of the population. However, this tells only a part of the demographic shift in Türkiye. There are also around 2 million people of Arab descent (mainly in the Hatay, Urfa, Mardin, Adana and Siirt provinces who are natives in addition to around 8 million non-native but defacto Arab residents (most of whom have Turkish citizenship). The former represent almost 2.5% of the population, the latter around 9.5%. There are other ethnic minorities such as Azeris, Uzbeks, Afghans, Chechens, Circassians etc. Many of whom reside in Türkiye for decades, some even centuries and they represent at least 3% of the population. The most significant demographic shift is hence that the ethnic Turkish component of the population is currently and for the first time in the history of the modern Turkish Republic less than 60% of the population and it is heading to below the 50% by mid century.
@TURKEY_ARAB_COUNTRY_SUPER_ARAB In Diyarbakir, Urfa, Mus, Van and Bitlis provinces alone there are 10 million Kurds so what you claim is obviously wrong.
@@realityisenough"Istanbul" is just the term the Turks heard the Greeks of the area used to refer to Constantinople, translating to basically "to the city". It's important to keep this in mind before complaining about the name.
it is a nice informative video about the Turkish Population. However, immigrants are changing the game. Under normal circumstances, Turkey's Demographic opportunity window will stay open till 2050. However, with the contribution of immigrants and their birthrate, everything changes rapidly along with the demographic structure of the population in Turkey.
For intra-national differences in fertility rates, compare the United States of America (USA) fertility rates in totality to the birthrates of the Amish, Mennonites, Orthodox Jews, and Mormons within the USA. More specifically, look at the Amish birthrates at seven children per woman.
@@Qwerkaway more realistic since Turkey isn't that far from there diaspora wear as Americans have been there for 200+ years most Turks came in the 1960s or earlier
thank you for a well prepared study. maybe couple of details to add: fertility rate already started to decline among the kurdish population, as well, due to urbanization, and the constantly declining economical conditions. the number of refugees, even though nobody actually knows, is well over twenty million; and the number you gave might only be the "registered" ones. the case is way worse than that.
These demographic concerns are not specific to Turkey, nor are they anything new. Julius and Augustus Caesar were both worried about it 2,000 years ago.
Is it just me or has there literally never been a significant demographic collapse in modern history, at least for a major country? I mean sometimes a country has bad demogeaphics but they can change their policies to suit their numbers.
I don't know whether you can find the data, but it would be great to see how fertility varies by socio - economic class, educational level, race, religious affiliation and participation, and prison record, especially since all these categories are linked with psychological characteristics that have been shown to be heritable in twin studies and other research. I think the future will be a very different world, and it's coming fast.
You've just given statistical facts on the subject matter without derailing into age-old, clichéd propagandistic discourses. This is very uncommon for videos discussing anything about Turkey. Well done.
It's very interesting. Turkey and Iran are a bit more extreme cases but it's similar in Latin America, and the magreb and most of the levant are but 10-20 years behind. These countries are still 30-50y "behind" Europe in terms of aging, but things are easy for nobody. The middle east seems to have more ethnic differences in fertility rate, though. In Brazil it varies a little by region and race but except for the indigenous people it's all in a similar range (and all below replacement)

I cannot remember its title or author, but about 50 years ago I read a science fiction novel whose premise was set far into the future, where mankind has come to the end of its run. The human population was reduced to just a few people. There was only one women left who can have a baby, and wanted one. At the time, human population was exploding and the premise of the book seemed absurd to me. Forgot about that book for a long time. The specter of population decline in most countries has made me remember it. Can human population go into an irreversible downward spiral to extinction??? I wonder....

Economists , so far, have not been able to adjust to the idea of de-growth although it is obviously imminent and inevitable on many levels. Why are we wringing our hands about population stability and decline? It is actually wonderful news! The concept of exponential growth of anything on this small planet is far more frightening. Economic growth even at 2% pa is still exponential and by definition unsustainable. Countries which a in denial. are those that still depend on immigation for a large part of their economic growth a on a short term sugar high. Canada , Australia, NZ , USA , Germany etc. Their social issues have yet to come to roost and inevitably the source counties will cease to be a source. What then? So the real social experiments are taking place in Japan, S.Korea, Italy .. places where there is serious resistance to immigration on the huge levels that some western countries try to sustain. But main stream economists remain silent on what they propose for an economy where the population is static or decining and the use of unstainably resources has slowed to zero. That is equlibrium economics. Where are those economic thinkers? Nowhere ! Why? Because modern economics is more like a relegion than a science. Their most basic belief is in "Growth". They do not accept the obvious boundary condition of a finite planet. Maybe Turckie will be one of the first countries to embrace the new inevitability and teach us how to live sustainably and proserously WITHOUT growth.
The problem is if your country in a state of de-growth while other country still opting for growth, then your nation will inevitably be weaker. It should be a worldwide movement for it to be possible not just in a single state.
I have some issues with this demographic collapse apocalypse. It is not necessarily a bad thing. Hear me out. With a change in technology and reconstitution of the nuclear extended family this could work out well for everyone. Many low skill jobs could be automated and many white collar jobs could be done by AI (which is already starting to happen). There would be a relatively increase in assets per person (without it being forced upon people through central planning ie. socialism/communism which always fails). It would be easier to feed, educate and house a smaller population. There would be no need to mass import unskilled workers into countries where their cultures will clash and cause problems. The only people that want the mass migration are the old money elites that own hard assets (land manufacturing plants, etc.) to protect their wealth and power. They need mass migration to keep land prices high, rents high, and consumption high so they can sell their products and keep wages low. Europe, the US, Canada and Australia would be fine if their native populations declined a bit and they were allowed to innovate. Over time people will start having more children. The problems start when you import millions of people of other cultures who then proceed to try and change the places where they moved to. Look at the problems Europe is having. Let these countries with expanding populations deal with these issues on their own and they will figure it out. Look at rat population studies, when you start cramming more rats into a colony, at a certain concentration of rats, they start killing each others and themselves.

Tell your parents to stop living for themselves and become full time babysitters for your kids. Yes, you will be much poorer but you will have your culture back as well.

I seriously appreciate your content. I would like to add, since you are talking about Turkey, that culturally turkic countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are actually facing a population explosion. And not because of immigration. Its about their fertility rates. It would be great if you make content for Central Asia some day. Since these countries basically wipe out all of the conventional theories about literacy rates, religiosity, the position of women in the society, and above all, being formal soviet republics. Lets take into consideration that Kazakhstan have had one of the lowest fertility rates on the planet in the beginning of the century, including a massive population exodus of the country, and the actual numbers makes the kazakh case probably the most resilient country on the entire planet on this matter. The fertility rate is above 3 children per woman, in Uzbekistan, in the last year recorded, it is 3,5 children per woman. And in southern Kazakhstan it is above 4 children per woman. The average Kazakh fertility is higher than Haiti (The country with the highest rate in the entire american continent), the one of Uzbekistan is higher than the one of Ghana, and the southern Kazakhstan one is comparable to the one of South Sudan. Their turning tide of demographics is insane, and it wipes out all of the conventional theories. Even the minorities inside kazakhstan such as the Ukrainian minority, on the latest reported data, reported 1,88 children per ukrainian woman, that would be a number that mainland Ukraine wont have even in their dreams at this moment. Its like these countries were the only ones who beated their drug addiction and became sober ever since. Way better than the case of Israel, since that country had never got into drugs (demographic implosion) in the first place. If I am suffering a drug addiction (sub replacement level fertility), I will certainly listen the man that used to be on drugs and overcame it, rather than the one that had never experienced any drug use in the first place. From a Subscriber, I believe, These countries deserve a Video. Thank You for all your content by the way.
i doubt he will do a video about it because nobody(absolutely nobody) understands whats going on in central asia. as former soviet union countries they have very high education level rates(especially women education), not bad economies and good enough infrastructure. all of this basically screams that demography analysis is completely wrong on the popular/mainstream theories. they will never admit it.
In Kazakhstan it is all about two things: * strong family traditions which are long gone in the West (e.g. grandparents often take up the role of the full time babysitters - that's considered absolutely normal, and help their children financially, and otherwise) * renaissance of the national identity and spirit after dropping the 300-year long russian colonial yoke.
@@dehaman_4_144 I am closely familiar with Central Asia as I have lived there for some time. It is all about culture/family traditions there. Actually the Faroes is the closest analogy you can find in Europe.
This is called exception to the rule. You can add Mongolia. It is unprecedented indeed, but it’s also very volatile as all of it fluctuates dramatically in a given year. I believe it is ethnic nationalism. There has been a lot of emigration of its European minority (formerly majorities) and assimilation of other non-central Asians (Koreans, Tatars, Crimeans, Turks etc) and a lot of return migration from Russia, China and each other to become more homogenous. It is worth a study.
@@TickleMeChelmno Kazakhs are actually doing what many of these rightwingers dream of: they integrate those aliens who are willing to integrate, and they get rid of those who aren't. Ethnic Germans in Kazakhstan were actually relatively well integrated with the Kazakhs. Many spoke Kazakh well. They mostly emigrated to Germany in the 90s due to economic reasons primarily. Ethnic Russians OTOH did not care to learn Kazakh, and the Kazakhs view them as colonizers/occupiers. Naturally many of the ethnic russians have returned to where they came from. Very similar to the Baltics.
He's a massive ottoman supporter and how it will be a superpower. @@qasimsudad1726 To me, I mean, it would be the strongest power in all of Middle East and North, Eastern Africa. But way too many equally sized powers around it to try to contain Turkey
