Family is still very, very, very much alive in Italy.

On what do you base your assertion, since the article and many others like it point out that the birth rate has fallen below the replacement level. Italy has been beset by the same Marxist b.s. we have to put up with here, from feminists and environmentalists to homosexualists, securlarists and islamists, constantly suing the government on behalf of their obsessions. Stick a fork in Italy.

I'm basing my comments on the fact that I have family that live there and with whom I've spent a fair amount of time. It depends where in Italy that you're talking about, and I agree that the birth rate issue is a very crucial one, but that is in part an issue of economics. Italy has big economic issues and many young Italians don't feel that they can afford a family. There are plenty of young Italians are moving back home to save money.

The economic issues are not easy to fix, and mirror much of what we're dealing with here. Socialism, exporting manufacturing abroad, and nonsensical immigration are issues.
