Türkiye’deki Doğurganlık Oranının Düşüşünün İncelenmesi

Türkiye, bölge politikasında artan etkiyle birlikte ekonomik anlamda Doğu Avrupa ve Batı Asya’nın en güçlü devletlerinden biri olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Yönetim biçimini Müslüman Tarzı Demokrasi Modeli olarak adlandıran Türkiye, şu an alışılmışın dışında Batı Avrupa ve Japonya’nın uzun yıllardır uğraştığı bir sorun ile karşı karşıya: Doğurganlık oranının düşmesi. Bu çalışma üç bölümden oluşmaktadır. Birinci bölümde Türk demografisi hakkında önemli bilgi ve istatistiklere yer verilmiştir, ikinci bölümde doğurganlık oranının düşüş sebeplerinden bahsedilmiştir ve son bölümde ise bu durumun muhtemel sonuçları incelenmiştir. Bu araştırmanın sonucunda anlaşılmıştır ki; Türklerin doğurganlık oranını arttırmak amacıyla herhangi bir önlem alınmaz ise bir sonraki nesilde Türkler kendi ülkelerinde azınlık olabilirler.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

Doğurganlık oranı, demografi, azınlık grup, Türkler, Kürtler

An Overlook Over The Declining Fertility Rate In Turkey

Turkey has emerged economically as one of the most powerful country in Eastern Europe and Western Asia, with increasing influence in regional politics. Calling itself as a model of Muslim style democracy, the Turks now face a novel problem that Western Europe and Japan have long contended with: A falling fertility rate. This article consists of three sections. First, substantial information and statistics about Turkish demographic is given. Second, reasons of decreasing fertility rate are mentioned. Lastly, its possible consequences are examined. As a result of the research, it is understood that if Turkey does not take any serious measures to increase the fertility rate of Turkish people, it seems that Turkish people may become a minority in its own country within another generation.
