According to reports published today, May 15, 2026, the demographic structure in Turkey is undergoing significant changes. GündemX and Sansürsüz Gündem report that the share of young people in Turkey's total population has dropped to 14.8%.

According to a report by GündemX, the figure points to an ongoing trend of change in the age composition in the country. Both channels, known for their continuous reporting on developments in Turkey, emphasize that this is a significant figure indicating an aging population or a decline in birth rates among the younger generation.

The report focuses on the dry fact that the proportion of young people now stands at "14.8%" of all residents. These data arouse great interest in the context of long-term social and economic impacts on the Turkish labor market and social security in the future.
