Turkey Population Pyramid 2031
Turkey in 2031
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Turkey at 89,292,981 in 2031. Compared with 2021, when the projection stands at 86,686,252, that represents growth of 3.0% over ten years.
The median age is projected at 37.3 years, with 26.5 children under 15 and 19.1 people aged 65 or over for every 100 people of working age (15–64). The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
