Rome: Pope Francis has urged the people of Italy to give birth to more children. The Pope warned people that the country’s demographic crisis is a threat to the future. The Pope also called for long-term policies to help families. Addressing an event, he said, “The number of births reflects the expectations of the people. Without children and youth, a country has no aspirations for the future.

Government started campaign
The birth rate in Italy is already very low and has been falling continuously for 15 years. It reached a record low last year. Last year 3,79,000 babies were born in the country. The government of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, with strong support from the Vatican, has launched a campaign to encourage births of at least 500,000 babies a year by 2033.
Shocking thing came to light
A shocking fact was revealed in a report released by the Italian government last year. The report said that Italy is facing a shortage of women between 15 and 49 years of age. Which means that there is a shortage of women of reproductive age in this country, due to which this problem has arisen.
the problem is serious
The seriousness of the matter can be understood from the fact that Italy’s PM Georgia Meloni had even declared it a national emergency and it had also become an election issue. Now that Pope Francis has urged the people of Italy to produce more children, it can be easily estimated how serious a problem this is. (AP)
