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. I also said that Istanbul is the capital, while it is obviously Ankara, which is pretty stupid mistake to make. Sorry for that! I am going to edit it out.

As a white Turk, it is necessary to write something here. In the last 5 years, young people are more worried about their future than ever before. Almost every one of them talks about leaving the country and building a life in a different country. Economic challenges have been the only agenda of the country for years. This hardship is such that marriages are breaking up and new unions are not turning into marriages. 25% of young people spend time in the family home doing nothing. Raising children is extremely costly. Even raising 1 child as a White Turk is incredibly expensive. Especially education has an incredibly high cost. As a result, for the first time, there is regression in every field.

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.

The Ottoman Empire was an empire that ruled for 600 years and in its last 200 years, westernisation moves took place. All of the reforms made when the Republic was proclaimed had their roots in the last 200 years of the Ottoman Empire, or at least they were planned to be made. The Republic preferred to make this process faster than the Ottoman Empire. 3- The Black Turks, who are rural, less educated and poorer are more conservative than the White Turks, who are urban, educated and wealthy, but Black Turks are more modern but than most Muslim societies. For example, not counting the small number of extremists, the average conservative black Turk is as conservative as the average Georgian or Armenian conservative. There are certain reasons for this. Firstly, it cannot be said that the republican revolutions did not affect the Black Turks. Secondly, the Turks actually do not have enough theoretical knowledge about Islam. This may sound surprising, but it is a fact. Islam and Judaism, unlike Christianity, contain many rules. Islam, whose language of worship is still Arabic, is more difficult to influence non-Arabic-speaking nations such as the Turks than Arabic-speaking Muslims. This is akin to the Catholic population in the Middle Ages, who did not know Latin, worshipping in Latin. One more piece of information is that the language we call Arabic today is actually Modern Standard Arabic. And this dialect of Arabic is nobody's mother tongue. Today, people in Arab countries speak their local dialects in normal life and learn Modern Standard Arabic at school. Modern Standard Arabic is the language of education, law and media. It is not the language of daily life. Local dialects of Arabic may even be as different from each other as Italian and Spanish. In this respect, modern standard Arabic is similar to Latin. Lastly I can say that when each culture accepts a new religion, it accepts that religion by adapting it to its own culture. Traces of Turkic shamanism and Anatolian paganism can be seen in the Turks. Just like in every society. In the 7th century the Islamisation of the Turks began and was completed in the 10th century, but according to the writings of travellers, until the 15th century, although the mass of the Turks called themselves Muslims, in fact their lives were dominated by pagan elements. After the 15th century, when the Turks became the leaders of the Muslims, this situation began to change. But as I have already written, the influence of ancient traditions has not been completely broken.

What is the likelihood that cities are just naturally opposed to fertility and that the correlation with education only exists because highly educated jobs tend to be located in cities?

The issue is mainly secular vs religious (look at the names by births) or diaspora communities. But plenty of Turks will intentionally deny this or blame muh economics (how many bougie Turks have 3 kids or more?) cuz God forbids saying one thing good about Anatolian conservatives or about Islam. Some seculars see the trajectory and switch sides but keep it to themselves to not be ostracized.

i dont think greeks would like this as less stable turkey becomes, the less of a bulwark against illegal migrants it becomes, turkey should never have allowed the illegals into the nation but erdogan does everything to stay in power so he welcomed the illegals saying they are "our brothers/sisters in islam" and now around 5/6 million syrians live in turkey, not mentioning the afghans, africans, bengali and other immigrants, and thanks to the security concerns those immigrants bringed with them paired with the economic crisis and erdogans policies the turkish youth are way more worried aboult their future compaired to lets say an italian teen, which would in turn lower the fertility rate as the mindset of "if i can't even take care of myself, how am i going to marry someone and take care of a child" sets in, but my hopes are high for the nation as erdogan's terms are ending in 2028, and with the increased participation from the turkish youth even if erdogan re-runs for the elections he will most likely be ousted from power and more than quarter of a century of AKP tyrany will end

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.

In 1924, Greece and Turkey had similar population, but Turkey had just taken for itself an area five times bigger than Greece and Greeks were crowded in a fraction of their previous living space. So Greeks migrated to the USA, Canada, Australia and Germany. So apart from Greek reluctance to have children, there was also a lack of resources and room for growth. Also many people who are counted as Turks consider themselves Kurds not Turks.

Şanlıurfa province is ethnically very diverse. Locally, It's about 45% Kurdish/Zaza and 40% Arab. The city center used to have a Turkish majority until 40s. There are some Turkish/Turkmen villages spread out around city center and the west. Also the Karakeçili tribe who are relatives of the founders of Ottoman dynasty, ironically kurdified and speaks Kurdish as mother tongue. It's politically diverse too. I'd say about 30% of Kurds/Zazas are of Hanefi sect, which were initially yazidi that avoided islamisation through Arab conquest and islamised by Turkish conquests later on, thus have a closer culture to Turks and have mostly a state favored view and dont vote for Kurdish separatist parties or recruited by them to PKK. On another note, Şanlıurfa is also where PKK founder Abdullah Öcalan was born. Funnily enough a few big Arab tribes support MHP, a supposed Turkish nationalist party and they are usually represented with one MP every election. The province also hosts like 800k Syrians. Which is like 35% rate of the locals. Most are Arabs with some kurds and Turkmen being in the mix. Şanlıurfa is known as city of Abraham and it's very heavy on religion. Kurds being in competition with Arab tribes for the domination of the province leads to a population race. Thus kurds of Şanlıurfa are less impacted by the soft secularization of Kurds that happened in other provinces like Hakkari and Van and thus still have high birthrates. Oh and there's also Uzbek village that is created in the 80s from Uzbeks in Afghanistan in the southern border to create border pass security and manpower to work at the Ceylanpınar farm (world biggest collective farm or something) by the coup regime. Hope some people appreciate this information.

He also never had a real plan as to how to democratize the country; he was just in love with the ideals of democracy.

Wishful thinking by some. The truth is that BR is declining all over Turkiye and in a few years all provinces will be below replacement rate. So, not ticking time bomb in a regional differential sense, really. Turkiye is still getting a lot of net inflow migration from its periphery including Central Asia, Caucuses, Middle East. With economic stability the net migrations will eventually become significantly positive. So the population will still increase before it starts to decline by birth, I am pretty sure. As a UK citizen I can see parallels in this regard. The real time bomb is in EU countries, especially countries such as France and Germany, for obvious reasons.

Thanks for this video, I was hoping to see about population of Turkey because I live in Turkey. AI images were visually nice but they were typical orientalist viewpoint about Turkey. Let me add the information you didnt mention here. (1). Turkey is facing deep economical and institutional crises for the last ten years so many educated professionals flee from Turkey. (2). Refugees and people fleeing from wars and economic disasters come to Turkey as it is crossroads for Africa, Asia, Easten Europe and Middle East. Most of them later leave or go to 3rd countries so this created a low cost refugee economy which caused further unemployment . People cannot marry or decide to have kids if they cannot guarantee a source of income. Syrians, Kurds or Arabs can but most of the population in Turkey cannot. (3). Rents, House Prices and Food prices are too high so people cannot go for marriage, rent a house, cannot afford to buy food hence cannot have kids. (4). Having kids out of marriage is not seen legitimate in Turkey which is still a conservative country (5) Educated or working women in Turkey dont want more than 1-2 kids because raising kid is too expensive. It requires hell a lot of time , money and efford. (6) Turkish population is getting more urbanised and they have to live in smaller houses so they prioritise to survive. (7) New generation in the coutryside dont want to live and work in the rural areas. Lack of public services, jobs and proper housing push people to migrate into cities. (8) Covid crises and following high infilation changed peoples priorities in Turkey. They only think about health, keeping the job, good use of money, keeping housing, food and transport. (9) Most of the refugees like syrians, afghans, ukranians, russians, iranians and people from central asia now emigrate from turkey because they cannot save and send this money to their families in their countries. So they return or looking ways to go to Europe. (10). Current birth rates among refugees are amazingly high they have at least 5 kids and they enjoy free health service and schools in Turkey which they never had in their native countries. Schools, hospitals, streets are full of them and unfortunately some of them are beggars, drug sellers, prostitutes and abused by criminals . This is not sustainable. There is a growing anger among locals for them, sooner or later there will be local issues and currently anti immigration sentiment is raising. Some of them are already Turkish Citizen but it wont change anything because Turkish society can easily explode to minorities or newcomers so there is a big demographic change will likely happen in the near future. (11) Turkey is in the middle of wars geographically so government has to spend more on defence. If Turkey will have no choice other than waging war in this region, so after wars population pyramid will change forever. Every Turk was born as soldier, you cant finish them by killing because Turks and Kurds are familiar with wars and it helps to remember our national identity. I expect some form of war will happen in the near future and our goverment and people are preparing for those dark days.

Thanks for explaining it so well. In iran it's not nearly as bad however the birth rate is around 1.52 low. But among our afghan refugees its 3.8 2024. But afghans are quite similar so it's not as different as a turk to an Arab.

Would you do demographic video in Emerging major economies such as India, Indonesia, Brazil, Nigeria? Because it will be an interesting discussion wheater some of these countries able to escape middle incone trap or not.

Very informative video... Congrats

Nice video❤

@kaiserbauch9092 In terms of demographic disparities Nigeria is most prominent: Christian south has around 2 point fertility rate while nothern muslim part around 7-8. Edit: My bad. Lagos has around 3.4 fertility rate which is the lowest and 7.3 in Katsina, which is still high difference.

@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.

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.

Cant complain about Turkophobia when turkish in general(even the non nationalist ones) Extremely Xenophobic.Arab hate,Kurd hate,hating Armenians,Syrians,Greeks even sometimes people like Mongols(LOL) that are related almost identical to the turkic culture and language.There are even cases where nationalist will call a ethnic turk like a kazak or tatar Mongol(As an insult).Quite weird for people who whine about ''Turkophobia''.Understandable if the video maker is an armenian-Greek or something.But in general even iranian kurds reception to turks isn't turkophobic* as you say here is an example:kzread.info/dash/bejne/aHlluJeLlJTfl7A.html Most of the time people cry Turk/Greek/Kurd/German/Arab --Phobia when they encounter counter arguments or when they see something they nationaly/Religiously/Politically dont like.But like I said there are real examples to this.Like Arabs hating kurds/turks...turks hating kurds/armenians/persians/arabs or vice versa.Kurds hating arabs/turks/armenians or even turks hating other turks / kurds hating other kurds saying saying they arent ''Real'' turks ''real'' kurds and so on and so forth.All this jazz to be honest despite all ethnic and linguistic diversity in places like Turkey/Syria or even India If you actually research this matters.There is more division because of religion or even sects of religion and Politics/Political parties compared to let's say language or ethnicity.Of course there are exceptions to this.Apologies for the essay.

The birth rate of Kurds has also started to decrease rapidly. Their rate in the population will probably increase from 15-8% to 20-25% and then stop. Ethnic Turks reproduce at 1.3, Kurds at 2.5, Arabs at 5-6. The fastest growing population in the future will be Arabs. Of course, if we manage to send them back, we will largely get rid of this problem, but it is a difficult task. The economic crisis is also effective in the decline in Turkey's birth rates. Unlike the West, the sudden decline was accelerated after the collapse, not economic development. I hope that if we get out of the economic bottleneck, the ethnic Turkish birth rate will increase again.

I do see both parties increasing their birthrates if the ruling elite can somehow increase the purchasing power of the average worker.
