The article examines the dynamics of changes in the linguistic capital of the economically active population of the Republic of Türkiye (25–64 years old) during the rule of the Justice and Development Party. The measurement tools are the polylingualism coefficient and the language integration index. The purpose of the article is to determine the impact of changes in the level of polylingualism and linguistic integration of the population in the context of the forecast of official statistics of the Republic about its decrease and excess of the proportion of women. The objective of the article is to assess the linguistic capital of the population based on the original methodology proposed by the author. The results of the research show some change in the development trend of the linguistic capital of the economically active population of Türkiye in recent years – the transition from the dominance of monolingualism in 2007 and 2011 to the zone of unstable bilingualism by 2022. Despite the fact that at this stage the economically active males are more polylingual than the females, the author predicts a qualitative change in the situation in 10 years. In connection with the predicted by the official statistics of the country decrease in the population of Türkiye as a whole and the forthcoming increase in the share of the female population, together with the potential of women to increase their linguistic capital, established by the author, Turkish society is on the threshold of a serious transformation not only of economic life, but also of the political system, which is objectively developing in favor of the opposition led by the Republican People’s Party, and also poses the task of revising its ideological base for the ruling party, taking into account the ongoing increase in the role of women.
