DEMOGRAPHIC AND CULTURAL CHANGES
Any society can not keep its stability. There are always some demographic changes that cause cultural changes. Like some other countries Turkey has faced that kind of changes, too. Therefore, like the social life in that country; its economy and lots of firms are influenced from these essential changes. The result of the demographic and cultural changes in Turkey and the changes that are the firms are facing will be discussed in this paper.
Firstly, there is a general truth that the population has increased very rapidly in Turkey especially in the big cities and the eastern regions where the contraception is not enough. In addition to this there is a continuous migration from eastern parts of Turkey, where are undeveloped and are not been invested, to more developed modern regions that have lots of job opportunities. Therefore, this immigration causes not only demographic and cultural changes but also unbalance between the poles; East and West.

As it is given above the causes of migration to the big cities is economical, educational, medical, appointment and others. However, the most important one is economical cause (total average: 67.90). Therefore it can be said that especially the economical institutions, firms are facing the results of these changes. For example, while the number of people is increasing the number of employed or unemployed people is increasing, too. In addition to this with the add of the graduated people the number of potential employer goes up. So, this situation leads firms to increase the capacity of employment and to become bigger. It also causes the changes in organisational hierarchy.
In Turkey as big cities become populated and developed the system of franchising start to spread in our country like McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Burger King etc Moreover in our country as business system develop the small firms lose their importance and as they can not compete with the big ones they bankrupted. So, it means that demographic changes have not only advantages but also have disadvantages to the firms.
In conclusion, the demographic and cultural changes influence our lives. Especially the economical area is effected mostly. However as the development of the technology continue, these changes are unavoidable.
