According to the World Health Organization, people over the age of 65 constitute the elderly population. In this context, demographic aging is the result of two basic phenomena. The decrease in fertility and mortality means that the society is gradually aging. The world and Türkiye are in a significant demographic transformation process. According to TÜİK (Turkish Statistical institute) data, while the elderly population rate in Türkiye was 4.3% in 1990, this rate increased to 10.2% by the end of 2023.
