Come on Italian Men. We need you guys to impregnate more White Women. Who else is going to make our Ferrari's and Pizzas in the future?

Birth rates in Italy fell for the 12th consecutive year in 2020, reaching their lowest level since 1861, new figures show. Statistics from ISTAT show that in 2020 births in Italy were reduced by 15,192 on 2019 levels, while the average number of children per woman was at 1.17, coming in as one of the lowest ratios in the world. In 2020 in Britain, the fertility rate was 1.59 children per woman. Italy’s slump has continued into 2021, as January saw Italy’s lowest ever birth rate; 10 months after Italy’s coronavirus lockdown, the country registered a 13.6 per cent decline in births, translating to nearly 5,000 fewer births compared with January 2020. Similarly, provisional data for January to September show that there were 12,500 fewer births recorded this year compared with the same period last year. ISTAT has said that the pandemic appears to be a major factor in the decline in people having children. The low birth rates recorded are part of an ongoing trend, however, Italian births have fallen by one third in just over a decade. In 2020, a total of 404,892 babies were born, compared with the 576,659 born in 2008. Families with two Italian parents account for the majority of the decline, with some regional disparity. Bolzano, a city in northern Italy, near the border with Austria, has a fertility rate of 1.71. But the southern island of Sardinia registered a fertility rate of just 0.98 children per woman in 2020.

Lol! What a coincidence. I also posted something about Italy.

I think that was your post I just read. Italy is screwed, and the southern half is heading towards becoming majority african.

the southern half is heading towards becoming majority african.

Come on now.

The more likely long-term outcome is that Italy will be repopulated by its immigrants. In the adjacent Calabrian towns of Riace and Camini, newcomers from Africa and the Middle East have settled in abandoned houses and even taken up some of the old village crafts, thanks to massive subsidies from churches and the charitable “third sector.” These have made the two towns something of a showcase. It is hard to see how such programs could be scaled up to a national level. On the other hand there are 200,000 third-sector charities in Italy. Many sizable southern towns are taking on a wholly immigrant identity, such as the dysfunctional former beach resort of Castel Volturno, north of Naples, which is now majority Nigerian and Ghanaian.

From the article you posted. Other parts go into detail about how and why the actual Italians are rapidly shrinking as a race in the country of Italy.

That's still a far cry from being the majority in Southern Italy.

Also from the article:

If all of Italy’s migrants became “trapped” within its borders, the resulting outburst of populism would likely exceed anything seen in Europe to date.

It does say that Italy itself will be repopulated, but that's mainly occurring in the south.

Not inevitable.

Did you post the article because you disagreed with it?

economy is too terrible. PIIGS. The EU forced constant austerity there, which covid is now part of.

Nobody wants to live in this shit anymore and even worse would be trying to be an upbringing parent. However, I do believe that they should try, through all the struggle and all the pain it is the people themselves who can and are more than able to fix this bullshit if they take the matters into their own hands. The Covid scam, Climate Change scam and the economic bullshit are all at play and more things, but stand strong, for through these hard times you shall be made tougher.

The majority of women in Italy are miserable. Women won't want to bring children into a world which makes them so unhappy.

That's from 2011.

[–]jet199 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Did they get happier since then?
