1. My grandparents have 9 children totally. My father’s family have 6 children (5 boys and a girl) and from my mother’s family have 3 children (2 boys and a girl). My Family have 3 children my twin and older brother (poor mother she said “it was difficult to raise 3 boys). I’ve never thought about how many children I will have. Its maybe because of I don’t have any plan for marriage.
2. Turkey’s population is approximately 75 million. In my opinion population growth supposed to decrease quality of life. However, government say that we have better quality of life than previous years so it seems like population don’t have any negative impact on quality of life.
3. Millions of people move from rural areas to the cities every year in Turkey especially to Istanbul. From economical perspective, Istanbul is the most powerful city in Turkey and Istanbul’s population is over 17 million (22% of the total population) and researchers say Istanbul’s population will reach 30 million within 10 years so it will be impossible to live in Istanbul. Even now we have lots of problems. Such as; traffic jams (biggest problem), living conditions (too expensive when compare with other cities in Turkey), less space and more pollution
In my opinion, to raise the economy to the high level like any other developed countries, the population should be high enough, approximately 80 to 100 million. Anyway I strongly agree with your mother. It was surely hard for her to raise you and Hakan at the same time LOL
