Head of the Sociology Department, Prof. Dr. Sutay Yavuz, participated as a Scientific Committee member in the "Symposium on Protecting and Strengthening the Family", held on Monday, April 28, 2025, at Hacettepe University, K Hall, and contributed to the event with his presentation titled “Demographic Transformation and the Family in Turkey: Current Situation and Future Prospects.”

In his talk, Prof. Dr. Yavuz addressed recent demographic changes in Turkey within a historical and sociological context. He examined the social impacts of declining fertility rates, an aging population, migration dynamics, and changing family structures, offering a comprehensive analysis of how these transformations may influence future family policies.

Supported by institutions such as the Ministry of Family and Social Services, ANGİKAD, the Council of State, and the Etimesgut Municipality Youth Council, the symposium brought together experts from various disciplines and provided a multidimensional platform for discussing contemporary challenges facing the family institution.

Through Prof. Dr. Yavuz’s contributions, our department continues to play an influential role in academic and public discussions on family and society.
