Türkiye · Community

81.1% say their neighbors care about their wellbeing

More than four in five respondents in Türkiye said their neighbors care about them and their wellbeing a lot or somewhat.

Lloyd's Register Foundation World Risk Poll · Fieldwork 2025 · N=962

People · Generations · Financial milestones

The “maybe later” economy.

Housing, education, work and family choices increasingly collide with financial pressure. PolisMetric keeps the U.S. Pew benchmark separate from Deloitte’s same-wave Gen Z and millennial country evidence so unlike questions are never forced into one ranking.

Financial milestones: country evidence not yet available

Evidence gap

No source-verified 2026 country topline is published here yet for Türkiye.

No country-specific 2026 financial-milestones topline has been source-verified for publication in the current governed pass. Missing is not estimated.

Missing is kept missing — never estimated, copied from a regional average or treated as zero.

Same-question international comparison

Financial pressure is delaying major life decisions.

These 15 country results come from the same Deloitte 2026 survey wave and the same question. Paired dots show published percentages for Gen Z and millennials; the connector shows the gap. This is not a quality ranking. Countries without a verified national value remain outside the ranking.

Deloitte Global 2026 Gen Z and Millennial Survey · fielded Nov. 24, 2025–Jan. 15, 2026 · online self-complete survey. The global study includes 22,595 respondents in 44 countries; this chart contains only source-verified country cuts in the current PolisMetric evidence pass.

Research status

Country-specific research remains open. The international chart above is evidence from other countries and is not presented as a value for Türkiye.

People Intelligence · Türkiye · Young women

Political divides and mental health — measured as separate evidence streams.

PolisMetric does not assume that the U.S. pattern applies everywhere. For Türkiye, political or gender-attitude evidence is shown only when a governed source supports it, and mental-health evidence is kept methodologically separate. An association is never inferred merely because both measures appear on the same page.

No meaningful youth gender gap is observed today; a small earlier modern gap has levelled off.

Higher-rankedLower-ranked

Sapien Labs' Global Mind Project ranks Türkiye's internet-enabled 18–34 population at #52 of 84. This is a young-adult country context, not a women-only result and not a depression prevalence estimate.

Global young-adult referenceMHQ 36 · 41% distressed/strugglingGlobal 18–34 reference from the same report; not a national value for Türkiye.

Interpretation ruleDo not turn two separate datasets into a causal story.

Political ideology, party affiliation, feminist self-identification, psychological distress and MHQ are different constructs. Cross-country cultural and sampling differences also matter. PolisMetric keeps the measures separate unless a single defensible study directly estimates their relationship in the same population.

Türkiye: who people trusted for health advice.
