Abstract

This study comprehensively examines the work titled “Social Panorama 2025: Population and Family,” edited by Cenk Beyaz and Faruk Tascı and published by SETA Foundation. Based on 2024 data and prepared in the context of 2025 being declared the Year of the Family (Beyaz & Tascı, 2025), this work analyzes the transformations in Turkiye’s population and family structure around five main themes: birth and death, population mobility, marriage and divorce, family-women-children-youth, and disabled and elderly. The book, created with contributions from twenty-two different authors, addresses the demographic transformation of Turkish society from a multidimensional perspective and discusses the social, economic, and cultural consequences of this transformation. This article aims to synthesize the main findings of the work and reveal current trends in Turkiye’s population and family structure.
