Istat: Italy’s population to shrink by nearly 4 million by 2050
–
Neutral summary
New projections from Italy’s national statistics institute Istat show the country’s population will fall by nearly 4 million by 2050, threatening the sustainability of its economy and welfare system as the share of elderly people grows. By 2080, Italy could lose 13 million residents, or 22.2 percent of its current population, due to low birth rates and insufficient immigration. By 2050, childless couples are expected to outnumber those with children, with families with offspring dropping from 7.5 million to 5.8 million; the shift will come earlier in the north, already in 2038. Demographer Alessandro Rosina of Milan’s Catholic University warned: “If this scenario comes true, it’s over for Italy.”
