ROME - The number of babies born in Italy hit a new record low in 2018, the population shrank and the average age crept higher, national statistics office ISTAT said on Wednesday.
Italy’s demographic crisis, with a shrinking population and aging workforce, is one reason for its chronically stagnant economy, economists say — and the situation is getting worse. The total population fell by 124,000 to 60.36 million, the fourth straight year of decline, meaning that since 2014 Italy has lost some 400,000 residents, the equivalent of its seventh largest city, Bologna.
“We are in a terrible state,” Matteo Salvini, interior minister and leader of the right-wing League commented on ISTAT’s report on demographic trends.The number of Italians moving abroad rose 1.9% year-on-year, in 2018, while new residents from abroad decreased by 3.2%.
