In 1900, the crude birth rate of Turkey was approximately 48 births for every 1,000 people, meaning that just under 4.8% of the population was born in that year. This figure would closely follow the trends in fertility rate in Turkey, gradually falling for much of the first half of the 20th century. As women began having more children in the rapidly developing post-war economy of the 1950s. The crude birth rate also rose during this time, peaking at 49.3 children per thousand people in 1955. However, as Turkey would begin to modernize, the crude birth rate fell, as increased access to education and access to contraception among women would lead to a decline in the number of children the average woman would have. This decline has continued into the 21st century, and in 2020, it is estimated that just over 16 children were born for every thousand people in Turkey, accounting for 1.6% of the population.
