Having been asked to talk about the highlights of demography, and of Turkish demography in general, I prepared a speech including a short summary of my memories; a commentary on the phenomenon of Demographic Transition and its dynamics; a discussion the stages of the demographic transition in Turkey and elaboration on some popular concepts in demography. The article below touches upon many demographic issues and aims to promote discussion among Turkish demographers.

Just as they say “April showers bring May flowers” to many couples expecting good news from the nature. Why did I make such an introduction? The answer to this question lies in the following questions. Is flourishing fertile life in May, a pure coincidence, or is it determined by biological abundance of physical products making life easier, (i.e. life opportunities –lop) as well as their impact on physiology of reproduction? In a similar fashion, is adapting to life conditions, rather than “letting the water flow in its own course” thus planning for the consequences of life a behavior of civilized values and norms? As Kiser (ref) once put it, planning is rather a general form of behavior, contagious, once done it has a strong tendency to spread over to other aspects of life transferring life into a more civilized form. Values and norms, vis-à-vis planning and civilization will be a cross cutting theme of this manuscript. How much of a civilized life is lived under the forces of determinism, where an individual does not have any say in it, and how much of it is lived under free will where the individuals can build their decisions on their own choices? The answer lies in the wise words of one world leader. J. Nehru (ref) said, “Life is like a game of cards, the hand that is dealt to you represents determinism, the way you play it is your free will”. Hence, for a planner in general and family planner in particular, the scope of the free will depends upon a) the availability of physical and social environment, and b) the knowledge of the tricks about the game (cards dealt). Only after receiving the cards s/he can make a decision. Demographic transition which is transition to decision based behavior, is embarking from turbulent situations of the pre-transition era, into a more civilized stable situation. The carriers of such flight are values, norms and ethical codes. “Human being” and “being human” are not the same thing. One is biology, the other is sociology, and together they become demography. Formal and informal population policies are central forces for humanity An individual in a society lives a life circumscribed by a) what is materially supplied by nature, and revised by human touch, plus b) immaterial acquisitions surfaced and developed by human ethics. Thus material and immaterial aspects of culture jointly form the basis of social life. Any phenomenon which involves just two or more individuals is a population phenomenon, the study of which is called demography. Biology of heart and AYKUT TOROS 81 its failure is medicine, not demography, however how many people are having heart attacks is a population issue. Therefore any policy which touches to or affects two or more persons is a population policy. It is almost impossible to think of any policies which do not involve at least two persons. The importance of this population policy does not only stem from this fact, but stems from policies that affect its growth and distribution. Actually distribution is nothing but a dynamic function of differential growth of its components. Similarly “zero growth” is simply nothing but a point on the growth continuum. Within this understanding, it would not be a serious divergence to include factors which influence population size and distribution not directly but through intervening variables. Intervening variables show their effect only through differential distributions. Such an anatomical perspective leads to the conclusion that population policies acquire a central position in formulating, material and immaterial components of civilization. Ansley’s Bicycle: Suddenly a man appeared on his bicycle At this point, which is the threshold for this paper in entering into the main topic, it would be appropriate to mention two great and humble men, and one is known for his preference of bicycle as a means of transportation, the other preferring city bus to go to work, while their colleagues consumed the opportunity to ride government limos. The first one is Ansley Coale of Princeton Office of Population Research, the other is Nusret Fişek of Hacettepe University Institute of Population Studies. At the same year of 1963, both were busy launching pioneering population projects, one European Fertility Project, the other 1963 Turkish Population Survey. Both of them were able to transform their institution into a Mecca of demographers, i.e. Hacettepe Institute of Population Studies at Home and Princeton Office of Population Research abroad. We were fortunate to have both of them in our First Turkish Demography Conference held on 21-24 February 1968 in Izmir. I feel genuinely privileged, for becoming a member of demographic profession in which I am surrounded by numerous scholars of exceptional high quality. I wish with all my heart that the scholars in other fields are as lucky as I am. Here I like to name, in recognition of all devoted demographers of the past, Norman Ryder’s promotion of Cohort, as an instrumental concept of understanding, social change, has a founding importance in demographic transition. This is being used extensively in cultural analysis of civilization and awaits further instrumentalization in in-depth analysis of understanding demographic transition. A challenge for the new generation. 82 DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION IN TURKEY: LANDING ON TO CIVILIZATION ONCE UPON A TIME TWO REVOLUTIONS, TWO TRANSITIONS Structure, background and civil life It is frequently overlooked that, demographic transition of our times is not the first transition through which the population acquired a new structure. In its macro simplicity, one can argue that two major revolutions of human civilization led to a demographic transition. One is the Neolithic revolution, the other is the industrial revolution. Both are similar in reflecting a major demographic transition, but the difference is that vital rates have changed in the opposite direction. Figure 1. Neolithic revolution Source: Coale, A. J. (1974). NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION had demographic consequences whose net effect was a slight increase in the rate of population growth. One reconstruction of these events suggests that the death rate (black) increased as a result of greater susceptibility to disease in village life, and perhaps also because agriculture is vulnerable to climatic crises. If the death rate did increase, then it is certain that the birth rate (color) also rose, and by a slightly greater margin. Both vital rates must have fluctuated from year to year, the death rate somewhat more than the birth rate. Even after transiti- on difference between the rates was small. During the Neolithic revolution, the vital rates have shifted from low to high. Death rates increased because of the settlement of hunters and gatherers into villages (or towns) which increased the number of people within a close proximity to each other. This led to the increased susceptibility to contagious and/or infectious diseases. Birth rates increased because of longer average duration of life in fertile ages per person. Thus age structure changed dramatically, increasing the age pyramid vertically, but keeping the growth rates at zero or very near to zero. Compared to pre-Neolithic era, the world population must have increased, because, the “two square miles” which could support only one person in hunters and gatherers populations of pre-Neolithic era, could support more people using the farming technology of Neolithic era (Figure 1). AYKUT TOROS 83 Figure 2. Demographic transition Source: American Association of Geographers (AAG) Center for Global Geography Education website. http://cgge.aag.org/PopulationandNaturalResources1e/CF_PopNatRes_Jan10/CF_PopNatRes_ Jan10_print.html. Last accessed: 10.08.2016. During the industrial revolution, vital rates have shifted from high to low1 (Figure 2). As is widely known, death rates have declined due to control of the factors leading to death (bad nutrition, bad sanitation, bad care etc.) as well as declining birth rates due to control of fecundity performance leading to lower levels of fertility. So the “second demographic transition”, about which I had the privilage of contemplating discussions with its major author, Ron Lestheage at Office of Population Research (OPR), is not a second major demographic transition process, but actually a third one! How much can the transition continue? The expectation of life increased from thirties to seventies during the demographic transition observed through the industrial revolution.

  • The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 6(1); April 2014 The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914 Devrim Ümit PhD Assistant Professor Founding and Former Chair Department of International Relations Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Karabuk University Turkey Abstract American missionaries have long been the missing link in the study of the late Ottoman period despite the fact that they left their permanent trade in American as well as Western conceptions of the period such as “Terrible Turk” and “Red Sultan” just to name a few. From the landing of the first two American Protestant missionaries, Levi Parsons and Pliny Fisk, on the Ottoman Empire, as a matter of fact on the Near East, in early 1820, until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, American missionaries occupied the increasing attention of the Ottoman bureaucracy in domestic and foreign affairs while the mission work in the Ottoman Empire established the largest investment of the American Board of Commissionaries for Foreign Missions (A.B.C.F.M.) in the world, even above China and India, on the eve of the war. The bulk of the correspondence of the Ottoman Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the period was with the United States and this was chiefly concerned about the American mission schools. Therefore, this paper seeks to examine the encounter between the Ottoman officialdom and the American Protestant missionaries in Ottoman Turkey during the successive regimes of Sultan Abdülhamid II and the Committee of Union and Progress, the Unionists in the period of 1876-1914.

Assimilation of the Muslim communities in the first decade of the Turkish Republic (1923-1934) Erol Ülker Abstract. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how immigration- settlement policies were employed by post-Lausanne Turkey to create a homogenous nation-state. Focusing on the incorporation of immigrants in the period of 1923-1934, the paper argues that the state policies of migration and settlement pursued two primary objectives that were closely connected with the nationalizing measures. They were carried out for the assimilation of non-Turkish-speaking Muslims on the one hand, and for the Turkification of Kurdish-populated eastern provinces on the other.

  • Forced Migration from the Balkans to Anatolia: 1878-1900
    Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi Sayı: 20 2008 FORCED MIGRATION FROM THE BALKANS TO ANATOLIA: 1878-1900 Prof. Dr. Faruk KOCACIK Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi, TÜRKİYE [email protected] Doç. Dr. Cemal YALÇIN Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi, TÜRKİYE [email protected] Abstract Migration can be dependent on many factors including economic, individual, political, natural disasters, ethnic and other social violence and wars. However, in this paper we mainly examined return migration from the Balkans to Anatolia in the form of escaping from violence and wars which we term forced migration. Towards the end of the Ottoman Empire, there were great conflicts between the central power of the Ottoman Empire and different nations. There were also wars between the Empire and some other countries. These wars and conflicts no doubt created migration of Turkish people and other minority groups who lived in the Balkans and other places. It should be stated that nations in the Balkans were trying to create more homogeneous populations in order to build nation states by forcing minority groups to leave their territories. With the weakening power of Ottoman Empire in the Balkans, it should be said that non-muslim groups were indeed in a life threatening situation created by the gangs of the Balkan nations. In order to provide Muslims with the means of migration, it can be seen that from the beginning of the conflicts, Ottoman Empire tried its best by sending ships and paying the cost of migration to individuals. A similar task was also undertaken by the authorities following the arrivals of migrants in Anatolia. They were settled in different towns and villages under the strict control of authorities.
