RE: Italy Is Facing the Worst Demographic Crisis Since World War I
Its not just Italy. Its all of Europe, China, Japan, Korea. In fact almost every non-third world country has falling working age populations. See more details in my post a couple of weeks ago. https://steempeak.com/coronavirus/@apshamilton/coronavirus-and-the-world-economy
Indeed but inside you had different strategy, France has always been pro-natality and therefore had 2+ kids before 2010. Now it is around 1.8-1.85 which is still very good for a developed country
1.85 is dying slowly vs quickly. Only above 2.1 can be considered good. Israel’s GDP per capital is higher than France and it has fertility of 3.2. THAT is very good, but it’s a complete outlier.
Don’t forget to add net migration in the balance.
Israel is also different because it seems there is a huge divide between Jew from Israel and other confessions less well-off and having way more kids. So it could be seen as an emerging population inside a developed country maybe 🤔?
I have talking about policies not Pro-life/choice
