Trkiye to develop demographic policy as fertility rates decline sharply, says vice president

The High Council for Demographic Policies, a newly created committee under the aegis of the Ministry of Family and Social Policies responsible for developing demographic policies amid concerns about the sharp decline in fertility rates in 2023, will meet for its first meeting on January 9, said Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz.

At the first meeting, we will engage in consultations to define a framework. Although we do not expect an immediate roadmap, there will be a comprehensive presentation to kick off discussions, and we will likely launch a new strategic action plan, Yilmaz said.

Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz met with the business press in Istanbul on Saturday and answered journalists' questions.

Yilmaz introduced the High Council for Demographic Policies, which was established by a presidential decree signed by Recep Tayyip Erdogan on December 25, noting that the council is responsible for developing strategies to address the country's demographic challenges.

Addressing the issue of fertility and support for family funds

At the first meeting, we will engage in consultations to define a framework. Although we do not expect an immediate roadmap, there will be a comprehensive presentation to kick off discussions, and we will likely launch a new strategic action plan, Yilmaz said. He added that the detailed plan would be shared after subsequent meetings, although specific topics such as the implementation of the Family and Youth Fund would also be discussed.

The fund, currently being tested in some provinces, is designed to provide financial support to newlywed couples using income from resources such as oil, natural gas and mining. The initiative aims to ease the financial burden of marriage, which Yilmaz identified as one of the main factors contributing to delayed marriages and, consequently, lower fertility rates. We could discuss how to expand this fund nationally, he noted.

Trkiye fertility rate raises concerns over population decline

On May 15, 2024, the Turkish Statistics Institute (TurkStat) reported that the fertility rate of Trkiye abandoned to 1.51% in 2023, compared to 1.61% in 2022, raising concerns about Trkiye's population projections. July 30, TurkStat released the report on population projections for 2023-2100, forecasting that the country's population would increase until the mid-2050s and then begin to decline, falling below 77 million in 2100.

The threat of population decline, which is also faced by developed countries such as Japan, South Korea and European countries, has caused concern in Trkiye, as the inflationary economic outlook has also had a negative impact on marriage statistics.

The High Council for Demographic Policies was created under the aegis of the Ministry of Family and Social Services by a presidential decree signed by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, published » in the Official Journal of December 25. The decree states that the objective of the council is to “formulate demographic policies with a coordinated and comprehensive approach, to ensure their effective implementation, and to monitor and evaluate demographic developments”.

The council will be composed of the vice-president who will chair it, as well as the ministers of Justice, Family and Social Services, Labor and Social Security, Youth and Sports, Treasury and Finance, the Interior, National Education and Health; the President of Religious Affairs; the director of communications; the Strategy and Budget Manager; and the President of the Turkish Statistical Institute.
