Government takes action to address declining fertility rates
According to recent data, marriage numbers and childbearing rates have been decreasing, leading to a decline in the fertility rate. This trend has raised concerns about the long-term impact on the population. In response, the government has decided to take steps to address this issue.
The year 2025 has been designated as the year of the family, and a Population Policies Board has been established to come up with strategies to increase the fertility rate. This board has been discussing various important topics related to the issue.
One of the key actions that will be taken is to provide support for young couples who are planning to get married. This support may include financial assistance, marriage counseling, and social housing programs that prioritize first-time home buyers. Additionally, there are plans to expand credit opportunities for young couples in some provinces.
Furthermore, efforts will be made to ensure that women do not feel forced to choose between their careers and having children. New flexible and remote working models are being considered, along with extended maternity leave and increased availability of free or low-cost nursery and childcare services.
The government is expected to announce the specific steps that will be taken in the coming period at the Family Year Promotion Meeting, which President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is scheduled to attend at the beginning of the week.
It is hoped that these measures will help to reverse the declining fertility rate and ensure a healthy population growth in the future.
