Ageing Population and Elderly Care in the Context of Rural-Urban Relations: The Case of Kastamonu and Sinop by Didem Danış

“…Outward migration, depopulation in rural areas, demographic and economic decline within these regions, along with notably lower-than-average fertility rates, collectively stand as fundamental factors shaping the population structure in these provinces. In Kastamonu and Sinop, the evolving dynamics between rural and urban areas, migration patterns, and the existence of multilocality structures significantly has influenced intergenerational support systems in elderly care. …”
