Demographics of Turkey

Demographic features of the population of Turkey include population density, ethnicity, education level, health, economic status, religious affiliations, and other aspects. As of 31 December 2025, the estimated population was 86,092,168, with 1,519,515 foreign residents. This number does not include about 2.28 million Syrian refugees under temporary protection as of 30 April 2026.

Turks are the largest ethnic group, making up 70–75% of the population. The Kurds are the second largest group with 19%. Other groups include Armenians, Arabs, Assyrians, and many more, together making up 6–11% of the population.

The population of Turkey has been aging. In 2025, only 20.4% of people were aged 0–14, down from 26.4% in 2007. The share of people over 65 rose to 11.1%, up from 7.1% in 2007.

Population

Turkey has a big population of about 86 million people. Some of these people, around 1.5 million, live in Turkey but come from other countries. There are also many people from Syria who are staying in Turkey temporarily, and their numbers are about 2.3 million.

Most people in Turkey live in cities. About three out of four people live in urban areas, which are places with many buildings and homes close together. The rest live in smaller towns and rural areas, where there are fewer buildings and more open space.

The age groups of people in Turkey change over time, and we can see how the population looks different each year. This helps us understand how many children, young people, and adults there are in the country.

Vital statistics

The population of Turkey changes each year due to births, deaths, and people moving in or out of the country. In 2023, there were 11.3 births for every 1,000 people, and in 2024, this number dropped slightly to 11.0. The number of children a woman has on average, called the total fertility rate, was 1.51 in 2023 and 1.48 in 2024.

Different areas of Turkey have different rates of births and deaths. For example, in 2023, the birth rate was lowest in West Marmara at 8.7 per 1,000 people and highest in Southeast Anatolia at 19.1 per 1,000 people. These numbers help us understand how the population is growing in different parts of the country.

Religion

Further information: Religion in Turkey

Turkey has been a secular country since changes to its 1924 constitution in 1928. Most people in Turkey say they are Muslim, with many following the Hanafi Sunni tradition. However, these numbers come from family records and may not show personal beliefs.

Surveys show different views on religion. Some people say they are very religious, while others say they are not. The number of people who say they have no religion has been growing.

The number of people who are not Muslim has become smaller over time. This change happened for many reasons, including big historical events.

Religiosity

In 2018, a survey showed different levels of religious feeling among people in Turkey:

51% said they try to follow religious rules.
34% said they believe but do not follow all rules.
10% said they follow all rules completely.
2% said they do not believe in rules.
3% said they have no religious beliefs.

Among younger people aged 15 to 29:

43% said they try to follow religious rules.
45% said they believe but do not follow all rules.
5% said they follow all rules completely.
4% said they do not believe in rules.
4% said they have no religious beliefs.

Headscarf

Surveys have looked at how many women wear headscarves. In big cities, about 45% wear them, but in smaller towns and rural areas, the number is higher.

Migration

Immigration

Main article: Immigration to Turkey

People come to live in Turkey from many places. After the old Ottoman Empire ended and big changes happened in 1923, many Turkish and Muslim families moved to Turkey from places like the Balkans, Caucasus, Crimea, and Crete. Today, people still move to Turkey for many reasons, such as finding jobs or escaping difficult situations in nearby countries like Syria.

In 2022, a large number of people from Russia moved to Turkey, more than ever before.

To become a citizen of Turkey, there are several ways, such as joining family, getting married to someone from Turkey, or investing in property. Over 240,000 people from Syria have become Turkish citizens since 2011.

Government initiatives

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has encouraged people to have more children, suggesting families aim for four or five children. However, the number of babies being born in Turkey has gone down. This is because many people now live in cities, have different lifestyles, and women are more likely to go to school and get jobs. The economy has also been tough, making it hard for families to pay for things like homes and childcare.

To try to change this, the government made 2025 the "Year of the Family" and the next ten years the "Decade of Family and Population". They added more time off work for parents, gave money to families with new babies, and offered loans to young couples getting married. But many parents feel this help is not enough. Some demographers think these efforts may not work because many young people prefer to have one child while both parents work.
