Turkish Population in the Great Depression
The “Professor” is not a machine for giving lectures, but is a resource to the students-one who inspires them to investigate and question, one who guides them and one who is able to sustain their enthusiasm for study and research. The real professor is himself a lifelong student. (Reşit Galip, Minister of Education, Istanbul University, 1933)During the 1930s, in the upper circles of public life and the professions, the Kemalist excitement and ene…
Negotiating reproduction and gender during the fertility decline in Turkey
The Crisis of Population Knowledge in Turkey
The main purpose of this paper is to present some basic information about the population of Turkey and its interpretation in a manner which readers of New Perspectives will find interesting for their purposes. One way to do this is to notice how certain population issues are handled in the public and scholarly discourse. Then, as a demographer and social scientist I will comment on some of these issues and hope to clarify them. Second is to prese…
Who Lives with Whom in Istanbul
Living groups are an important subject in sociology, demography, economics, social medicine, and anthropology. In many studies, households are chosen as the most suitable unit of investigation, though other choices also have their advantages and limitations (Yanagisako, 1984 pp. 161-205). The household is preferred in the present study, because it enables us to present new information that has been collected by the Turkish census and to discuss i…
Computational Methods for Population Projections: With Particular Reference to Development Planning
This manual explains the logical foundations of population projections and the kinds of inputs required to make them particularly in developing countries using the software distributed and supported by the Population Council. FIVFIV comes in four languages English French Spanish and Turkish....It runs on personal computer (PC) under DOS 2.0 or higher if the PC has at least 256 Kb of memory--more is better of course. It runs on either floppy-disk …
Population Factors in Development Planning in the Middle East
This book sets forth conceptual frameworks for addressing important population and development issues in the Middle East. The most salient population concerns in development planning in the region are migration and the growth of cities. The rapid pace of economic and political events has caused massive movements of population with consequences that confront and challenge the planner at every turn. Moreover fertility and infant mortality rates rem…
The Population of Turkey After The War of Independence
The people of Turkey at the end of the War of Independence could hardly have imagined the long era of peace and national development that was to follow. They had just been through more than a decade of struggle to survive against the odds of warfare abroad and at home, epidemics, and serious interferences with the normal material means of livelihood. Loss of life and permanent disability were legacies for many families of the 1911–1922 period. Pr…
Muslims and Minorities: The Population of Ottoman Anatolia and the End of the Empire
Sex and Society in Islam: Birth Control Before the Nineteenth Century
Determinants of Child Mortality: A Study of Squatter Settlements in Jordan
It is argued that the problems generated by institutions and conditions of todays cities necessitate a more precise formulation of the social determinants of health and mortality in the light of progress made in understanding the biological mechanisms of disease causation. In addition the health consequences of social policy need to become an integral part of problem definition and evaluation. The Amman upgrading project is concerned primarily wi…
Croissance et inégalités au recensement de Damas
Shorter Frederic ?. - Croissance et inégalités au recensement de Damas. Pour étudier les inégalités sociales à Damas on a utilisé un recensement au dixième effectué en 1976. On a défini les classes sociales à partir du niveau moyen d'éducation des membres du ménage auquel chaque individu appartient. Cette méthode simple met en évidence des inégalités à tous les niveaux : la durée moyenne du travail fourni au cours de l'existence, le travail rémun…

Four Studies on the Economic Development of Turkey
Fertility Control In Turkey
Child mortality in Turkey has been decreasing so that the expectancy of life at birth is now about 54 years. There has been a decline in the birthrate which began before 1960 partly due to a real decrease in fertility and to a shortage of women in the childbearing ages. There are regional differences in fertility due mainly to differences in socio economic and literacy indices. It is estimated that about 11% of the couples of childbearing age are…
