Analysis of Population Change of the 0-14 Year Age Group in Türkiye (2000-2022)

Abstract

Age groups with wide and narrow ranges provide the opportunity to make detailed evaluations for planning studies in demographic analyses. Particularly, population pyramids are prepared using age group data by sex. In the bottom three rows of the pyramids, 0-4, 5-9, and 10-14 age group data can be used to evaluate population growth and fertility rates. In addition, age groups provide an indication of the amount of dependent and active population in a society, thus facilitating future population forecasts. Broad age ranges categorize the 0-14 age group as the young dependant population, the 15-64 age group as the active population, and the 65+ age group as the elderly dependent population. The proportional change of these age groups in certain date intervals and the reasons for which age groups are in an upward or downward trend also give an idea about the general welfare levels of countries. The current population's demographic trends guide the planning of employment, education, health, and many other socio-economic investments. Population policies are based on the proportional distribution of age groups and population projections. In this study, the change in the population of the 0-14 age group in Türkiye has been analyzed according to the Classification of Territorial Units for Statistics Level-1 (İBBS Düzey-1) since 2000. The population amount, population density, age, and gender structure of this age group are emphasized. In the research, State Institute of Statistics (DIE) 2000 General Population Census and TURKSTAT (TÜİK) Regional statistics data for 2022 were utilized. In 2000, since the Classification of Territorial Units for Statistics had not yet been established, province-based data from 2000 were evaluated and new data were created at the “İBBS Düzey-1” (CUTS Level-1) scale in order to ensure integrity in tables and graphs.
