Turkey's fertility rate steadily decreased from 3.1 in 1990 to 2.0 in 2000, aligning with increased urbanization and economic development. The stability around 2.2 between 2002 and 2015 reflects government incentives to maintain birth rates amidst a growing urban population.
By 2020, the rate declined to 1.9, driven by changing family structures and economic pressures. Turkey’s shift toward lower fertility mirrors broader regional trends, balancing modernization with cultural norms.
