(Finance) – “Con 379 thousand new born in Italy, 2023 records yet another historic low in birthsthe eleventh in a row since 2013. A phenomenon, that of the birth rate decline, which has not stopped since 2008 (577 thousand births). In response to the growing concern about the decline in births in Italy, the Budget Law 2025 represents a significant step towards supporting families and promoting birth rates”.
This is what was declared this morning on RaiNews24 President of Impresa per la Vita Onlus, Donatella Possematocommenting on the main measures of the maneuver approved by the Council of Ministers. “The new measureswhich include bonuses, incentives and tax deductions, – he states – are essential to provide concrete help to families, particularly those with multiple children and on low income. Also the Family Act (law 32/2022) had been presented as a measure to try to make the promotion of interventions structural in favor of families, young people, women. However, it is essential to understand that the birth rate decline is not just an economic problem. It reflects profound cultural and social changes which require special attention”.
For Possemato “it is necessary to start a awareness and re-education path of the young generations, so that they can face parenthood with awareness and confidence”.
“Our goal is not only to offer immediate support – he concludes – but also to build a future in which the family project is valued and encouraged. Only through collective commitment and a long-term vision will we be able to face this challenge and reverse the trend of empty cradles.”
