Italians care enough to complain about their demographic collapse, but not enough to make policy changes. Così è la vita.

How would giving paperwork to non-Italians help the demographics of Italians?

toomuchtodo•3h ago
Young people don’t have children where there are no services and workers providing those services. Certainly, jobs with living wages are also an important component.

From my last link above:

> More than a third of Italy’s teenagers dream of emigrating as soon as they are old enough to do so, with the most favoured destination being the US (32 per cent), followed by Spain (12 per cent) and the UK (11 per cent), according to Istat.

> In March last year, the institute reported that in 2023, the number of births in Italy fell to 379,000 – a record low.

(there were 370k births in 2024, and we should except another 9k-10k decline in 2025 arriving at ~360k births this year)

Let's test that theory: which countries have reversed their native population decline with immigration?

toomuchtodo•2h ago
No country will ever convince native populations to have more children solely because of immigration [1] (Utah and Israel do it with religious fundamentalism, which has...fallen out of favor, broadly speaking); immigration improves the economy, which creates economic potential for native born to potentially consider having children. You're never going to convince most rational people to have kids in a poor economic macro (Russia, South Korea, Italy, Greece to varying degress), so you must stoke the economy to ensure it is sufficiently healthy to encourage those still considering having kids to have them. Immigration most recently was creating a robust US economy, for example [2]. Of course, a robust economy is no guarantee you're going to convince native born citizens to take on the burden of childrearing. Raising children is incredibly high cost to parents and the rewards are mixed at best.

Your comment here [3] leads me to believe that rational arguments are going to fall on deaf ears though, from the anti immigrant pro native born vibes. Correct me if I'm mistaken on that though if I'm misreading the comment.

I asked for examples of countries that fixed native birth-rates with immigration, not for theorizing how it could help.

Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia? Glancing at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_fer..., I'm not seeing this economy <--> fertility correlation you claim exists.
