Italy is facing a severe population decline, leading to political debates about citizenship rules and the potential need for 'new Italians.' Critics question the government's tightening of citizenship rights when economic and demographic realities indicate the necessity for a more welcoming approach towards immigrants and their integration. The steep birth rate drop and an exodus of educated youth contribute to growing fears about Italy's ability to sustain its economy. However, the current government has been criticized for not implementing effective family support policies to encourage young couples to have children.
The Italian government is emphasizing the need for more young people due to a significant population decline, yet is tightening citizenship rules instead of easing them.
Italy’s ongoing population decline could lead to a loss of half its current population by the end of the century, raising concerns over the sustainability of its economy.
