In der Türkei haben im Jahr 2023 rund 87,3 Millionen Menschen gelebt. Für das Jahr 2024 wird eine Gesamtbevölkerung der Türkei von rund 87,5 Millionen Einwohner:innen prognostiziert. Der Trend der letzten Jahre wird fortgeführt – die Einwohnerzahl der Türkei erhöht sich jedes Jahr, allerdings sinkt die Zunahme im Vergleich zu den vorherigen Jahren. Die Türkei ist ein offizieller EU-Beitrittskandidat. Istanbul hat mehr Einwohner als Belgien Wäre das Land bereits Mitglied der Europäischen Union, würde es vor Deutschland und Frankreich die größte Bevölkerung der EU aufweisen. In Istanbul, der größten Stadt der Türkei, leben bereits mehr als 15 Millionen Menschen. Nur sieben EU-Staaten weisen als Nation eine höhere Gesamtbevölkerung auf, als die türkische Metropole. Natürliche Bevölkerungsentwicklung oder Migration? Grundsätzlich kann bei der Bevölkerungsentwicklung zwischen dem natürlichen Bevölkerungswachstum und der Zuwachsrate (allgemeines Bevölkerungswachstum) unterschieden werden:natürliches Bevölkerungswachstum

Das natürliche Bevölkerungswachstum ergibt sich aus der Verrechnung von Geburten und Todesfällen.

Zuwachsrate

Bei der Zuwachsrate wird das natürliche Bevölkerungswachstum mit dem Migrationssaldo, also dem Saldo aus Immigration (Einwanderung) und Emigration (Auswanderung) verrechnet.

Zusammenhang

Industrieländer benötigen im Allgemeinen eine Geburtenrate (Fertilitätsrate) von durchschnittlich 2,1 Kindern je Frau, um den Bestand der Population konstant zu halten (Bestandserhaltungsniveau). Für ein positives Bevölkerungswachstum wird dementsprechend eine höhere Geburtenrate oder ein positiver Migrationssaldo benötigt.
