Italy may lose 4 million residents by 2050
The National Institute of Statistics in Italy forecasts that the population will decrease from 58.9 million at the beginning of 2025 to 55 million by 2050, and decline further to 45.8 million by 2080. This decline is attributed to the declining birth rate, which last year reached its lowest level since the end of World War II, with only 355,000 births—a rate of just one child per woman. Despite the government's efforts to boost the birth rate, the decline continues, threatening Italy's long-term economic stability amid rising death rates and ongoing low birth rates through 2050.
