Number of young moms on decline

Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) data has shown that the number of births for women who are under 15 has dropped dramatically in the last 10 years.

 According to the TÜİK data, between 2001-2010 there were 12,532,530 births in Turkey.

When the age of the mothers was analyzed, there was a drop of 87 percent of mothers who were under 15.

The number of births for women who are between 15-19 also dropped by 37 percent, according to the report. The birth numbers also dropped by 22.3 percent for women between 20 and 24.

The statistics showed that women above 30 started giving more births in the last 10 years. Accordingly, there was a 31 percent increase for women who chose to be mothers between the ages of 31 and 39.

The birth numbers also fell for women who were above 40. Accordingly, the number of births dropped by 19 percent for women who were between 45 and 49

Note : I think this is good news for Turkish society.

 I absolutely agree...It is also a good indication that many Turkish women are waiting until after they get an education to get married and start a family. 

Young male Turks are too busy getting Western tourist girls pregnant first

Edit:  Spooky...I sound like AlphaF suddenly....

Maybe AlphaF is just one of your CIA identities?  Oh the plot thickens!

 According to livestrong.com
The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the industrialized world. The Center for Disease control says that one-third of girls get pregnant before the age of 20. Teenpregnancy.org, a site managed by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, states that there are "750,000 teen pregnancies annually. Eight in ten of these pregnancies are unintended and 81 percent are to unmarried teens."

I wonder how an earth so many young male Turks crossed the Atlantic ocean. There must quite few of them living over there[in usa] to make that statistics come true.

Forget the joke but the fact is that;

1. that happens everywhere in the word,

2. Not all young male Turks involve that business

3. Do foreign girls whom some of them are drinking heavily or looking for holiday romance have no fault on getting pregnant issue ?

1. I´m not American   But admit we have an appalling teen-pregnancy record in the UK.

2. Yes it happens everywhere in the world, but we don´t make distinctions about "foreigners" being easy or try to extort money from them as a rule.

3. I am aware that not all young male Turks do that...but you and Morocco have the edge on the rest of the world

4. I am sure these "foreign girls" are as much to blame.  Just as they are as much to blame for believing that their Turkish waiter really does love them, really badly needs money and really badly wants to marry them and live in their country

Sorry if I hit a "raw nerve" with you Tunci!

1.Some Young Turkish or Kurdish waiters might think like and they are just 1 percent of Turkish  young population  but  the rest of Young maleTurks [99 percent] are having normal [other] jobs such as ,[accounter,lawyer,worker,marketseller,policeman,doctor,mechanic,security,cook,teacher,working in shops] or studying at university.

2. In recent years, Turks living abroad are returning Turkey. And the numbers of Westerners seeking jobs  in Turkey to get better life are rising. 

3. Your waiters issue is an out of fashion story. They dont represent Turkish young population anymore.

 Sorry Aenigma but I can see you hitting the roof after this 

Hahaha of course I know you DO have other jobs!!!   I am aware you are not just a country of bars and restaurants! 

Where do you get your statistics from?  Please send the link.  Turks living abroad are returning?  Probably only those who run out of money after they can´t get any more benefits from us.  It doesn´t mean others aren´t coming over.  Where are your stats that prove that the percentage of foreigners moving to Turkey is anything CLOSE to the many who move out of Turkey?

3. Again, why do you think the Turkish waiter con trick is an out of date fashion story?   Just have a quick look in the Translation Forum and see how many are being conned out of money, how many pretend to be in love (when they don´t even talk the same language) and how many ARE waiters and resort staff!!!   Also, please check how many other websites are dedicated to naming and shaming Turkish resort workers ...try googling Turkish Love Rats, Turkish Liars, Turkish Waiters...and you will see what I mean.  See what reputation Turkish men have on social networking sites!!  I can endorse the fact that the only people I don´t know who send messages and ask to be "friends" on facebook are....surprise surprise... Turkish Men!

Dont worry about me hitting any roofs - I love a good argument and have no personal interest in either your pregnancy story or in Turkish waiters!  Neither am I fanatically patriotic to my country or feel the need to defend it the way you do. 

I realise it must be hugely embarassing for Turks to be known in the West as love rats and I agree it´s unfair and doesn´t represent the majority of your population, but...unfortunately...that is what the average European thinks.  Just as the average Turk thinks European/US girls are "easy"

See , you hit the roof !

Only in your fantasies
