Demography

Demography: The study of population structure, characteristics, and changes within a certain geography.
First used in 1855 by Achille Guillard.
Population: The mass of individuals living in a specific area at a specific time, constantly changing.
Components of population: Birth, death, migration.
Basic Demographic Equation: Population = Starting Population + Births - Deaths + Internal Migration - External Migration

Demography Research

Areas of research: numerical size, population distribution, population structure, population change, population processes
Disciplines related to demography: Sociology, Economics, Geography, Statistics, Genetics, Ecology, Nutrition

Data Sources in Demography

Population Censuses (e.g., Egypt, China, Rome, Palestine)
Population Registration Systems (birth, death, marriage, divorce records)
Demographic Research
Regional/Local Research on Society
Research with sampling techniques (e.g., TNSA)

Population Censuses in Turkey

First census in 1935, then censuses were annually between 1935 and 1990.
Census in 1990, every 10 years after then,
Method: Address-Based Population Registration System (ADNKS) , started 2006 and completed 2007.
The most recent census was in 2022
The Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) is responsible.

Why Censuses Are Important

Crucial data source for the entire country's population.
Used to allocate resources to local governments, create voter lists, and determine sampling frames for research.

Problems with Censuses

Reaction to census
Errors in quantity (undercount/overcount)
Qualitative errors: respondent bias, census taker bias
High cost due to large populations

Recording Systems

Purpose: to fulfill legal rights and obligations (e.g., issue identity cards, formalize parents, own property, take advantage of educational opportunities & travel).
Vital Records: birth, death, marriage, migration, divorce records.
Partial Records: Social Security Institution records
Important to constantly record information to statistics and keep up-to-date records on population.

Registration System in Turkey

Responsibility: Ministry of Interior (since 2022), with computerization of population records
Identity numbers; online exchange of information between government agencies
Address-Based Population Registration System (ADNKS)
TÜİK is responsible for assigning people to addresses.
Immigration-related records from various ministries (interior, foreign affairs, labor, refugees, security).
Marriage and divorce records: TÜİK.

Problems with Demographic Research

Poor data quality (e.g., sampling errors, data collecting errors, respondent bias, interviewer bias, adverse field conditions)
Data entry and analysis errors
Analysis-related errors

Comparison of Data Sources

Censuses provide information for each individual but are not updated regularly, and have potential sampling errors.
Recording systems maintain current data, but may have incomplete coverage
Research provides detailed information, but can have sampling errors and other issues in data quality .

Research types

Cross-sectional research
Longitudinal research
Retrospective research

Research Methods

Quantitative Research: uses numbers for generalization; based on sampling
Qualitative Research: not based on numbers; focuses on understanding experiences
