- Abstract
Distribution of the population in gender and age groups is one of the most important demographic changes in Northern Cyprus. Monitoring the patterns of these groups is vital in determining national planning programs and addressing the needs. Fertility rate and migration are important factors on age and gender structure. Distribution of the population in gender and age groups in Northern Cyprus is quite different from natural parameters, especially for the active population. Northern Cyprus is both losing and gaining population through immigration. Men are in the majority of new population groups in developing countries. In contrast, men are also in the majority in countries that receive a high percentage of immigrants, where natural trends are not followed in population. Northern Cyprus is an example, and the percentage of men population is higher than usual. This character of the population lead to problems in the provision of public administration services and employment in Northern Cyprus. In this regard, it is inevitable for the government to administer selection regulations in migration policies. On the other hand, findings reveal that the average age is getting higher and women have a higher life expectancy in contrast with the trend in active population. Moreover, one of the most critical factors in population in Northern Cyprus is the increase in life expectancy. This issue is related with affect of health variables on economic development index. However, more studies are needed on the sociological features of the urban and rural population concerning these changes. Considering the different needs of the urban and rural population and age and gender groups; health services for elderly, infrastructure for sheltering, and administration of social programs are required.
