Social Inequalities and Fertility in Pandemic Times
Vulnerable ethnic groups have been affected disproportionately by the COVID‐19 pandemic, and related fertility effects have been heterogeneous among different social groups. Although Türkiye hosts the largest Roma population, neither their fertility nor the pandemic's effects on it have been addressed. The novel contribution of this study is to analyse the fertility response to the COVID‐19 pandemic among the Roma in Türkiye and how it differed b…
Impact of financial assistance on stunting
Despite the global decrease over the last two decades, stunting, also called ‘chronic malnutrition’, remains a public health issue affecting almost 150 million children under the age of 5 years globally. Defined by height-for-age, stunting is the consequence of poor nutrition, repeated infection, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. Programmes and policies target undernutrition globally, and humanitarian and development actors invest great ef…
The Making of a “Lost Generation”
Millions of children are forcibly displaced worldwide due to wars, civil conflicts, and natural disasters. Displacement disrupts the lives of children making child labor a serious risk. However, little is known about this topic due to the difficulty of finding datasets for this population. In this study, we use a large representative dataset of Syrian refugees in Turkey, the largest refugee group in any single country, to examine the incidence of…
Residential segregation by educational status in Turkey, 2013
No research has examined the association between political preferences and residential segregation by educational status. In Turkey, affective polarisation is very high and warrants an examination of whether political preferences are associated with educational residential segregation. This study uses data on Turkey from the 2013 Address‐Population Based Registry, the 2011 Census of Population and Housing and voting archives maintained by the Sup…
Increasing misreporting levels of induced abortion in Turkey
Women tend to under-report or misreport their abortion experiences, mainly because abortion is considered a sensitive issue for cultural, religious, political or other reasons in many countries across the world. Turkey, where induced abortion is an increasingly sensitive issue due to intense statements against induced abortion on religious grounds by influential politicians, and a hidden agenda to prohibit the practice, especially in public healt…
Housing Outcomes in Turkey
Despite the doubling in size of the middle class and the significant housing increase in Turkey, little research has examined housing outcomes of middle–income households, particularly relative to affluent households. The housing increase and 2007 Mortgage Law could have reduced housing differences between middle–income and affluent households, but the rise in gated communities could have increased these differences. Using data from Turkey's 2012…
Sources of nonresponse error in the translation process of survey instruments
In data collection process of Turkey Demographic and Health Surveys (TDHSs), only printed questionnaire in Turkish is used. Therefore, on-the-spot translation was performed during the data collection process, rather than using printed questionnaires in Kurdish or Arabic. From the item-level nonresponse perspective, this study examines the quality of birth date data with two different but interrelated angles (1) impact of the language mismatch bet…
Prevalence and Risk Factors of Infertility in Turkey
The inability to have children affects couples worldwide and causes emotional and psychological distress in both men and women. Turkey is a country that lays particular emphasis on the issue of infertility, especially after experiencing a dramatic fertility decline over the last two decades. This study aimed to understand the changes in the prevalence of infertility in Turkey using three different approaches: the DHS Approach, the Constructed App…
The Causal Relationship Between Consanguineous Marriages and Infant Mortality in Turkey
Turkey has high levels of infant mortality and consanguineous marriages. It has had a high level of infant mortality for its economic level for many years. Over recent decades, although adult mortality rates have not been very different from those of other countries with similar socioeconomic structures, its life expectancy at birth has remained low due to its high infant mortality rate. This has been called the Turkish Puzzle. According to the T…

Menarcheal age in Turkey
Regression analysis indicated a decrease of 1.44 months per decade, providing evidence of a secular trend in menarcheal age in Turkey. Further results suggested childhood place of residence, education, welfare status and number of siblings to be significantly associated with menarcheal age
Prevalence and Sociodemographic Correlates of Consanguineous Marriages in Turkey
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of consanguineous marriages in Turkey using data derived from the 2003 Turkey Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS-2003). Demographic surveys conducted in the last 40 years consistently show that Turkey is a country with a high level of consanguinity. In the latest demographic survey (TDHS-2003), a nationally representative sample of 8075 ever-married women, cons…
Demographic Differentials and Demographic Integration of Turkish and Kurdish Populations in Turkey
The Timing of Leaving the Parental Home and Its Linkages to Other Life Course Events in Turkey
This study employs the data of the 2003 Turkish Demographic and Health Survey to study the timing of leaving the parental home and the links between home leaving and other life course events (entry into labour force, family formation, and first birth) for three groups of home-leavers: early, on-time, and late. Results of the study suggest that the majority of the home-leavers are late home-leavers in Turkey. This pattern of parental home leaving …
International Migrants’ Remittances and Welfare Status of the Left-Behind Families in Turkey
In this study, micro implications of remittances are examined based on the data from the 1996 Turkish International Migration Survey (TIMS-96), part of a comprehensive study of Eurostat and the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI). Results of the study imply that migrant savings are generally used for satisfying basic consumption needs. Patterns of expenditures suggest that for 12 percent of all the households receiving remi…
Determinants of Contraceptive Use and Method Choice in Turkey
In this study, the determinants of contraceptive use and method choice are examined based on various variables, classified as individual, cultural, fertility and contextual. The data used came from the 1993 Turkish Demographic and Health Survey. The main finding is that there exists a positive association between the educational level of both spouses and the use of contraceptive methods in Turkey. After all individual, cultural, fertility and con…
