If Italian women don’t care about being married, I guess that’s the end of the story.
Part of the problem is economic. Some are reluctant to get married while waiting for more economic security. You can work in Italy and literally not get paid, at all.
Somehow I’m sure this is the case in Marxachusetts as well, although I haven’t seen any studies done yet.
The birth rate for US whites is not much higher, about 1.8.
It won’t be long before Italy and the rest of Europe becomes part of The Caliphate.
Don’t be too alarmed. This will be reversed soon.
Unfortunately, by then the most popular name for a newborn will be “Mohammed.”
You'd think that a strongly Catholic country like Italy would have higher birth rates. This is a head scratcher.
But I wonder what it is in Marxist states like MA, and other sodomy strongholds.
They must have missed all the ‘don’t shack up’ sermons.
Marxachusetts is so strange; it’s got an Irish Catholic majority and lots of kids running around - free med care for kids under 18. But then all kinds of whacked out sodomy laws put upon the populace by the ruling elitists.
Maybe they're too drunk to know any better. :)
“Don’t be too alarmed. This will be reversed soon.”
On what basis, do you make this claim?
In socialist nations, the cost of living is too high. People are too busy working to pay taxes, and children are expensive. Besides, Italian women were abused for centuries by cheating husbands, and they had no way out of these unhappy marriages. When given the choice, apparently these young Italian women would prefer to remain single. My mother and her sisters are all full blooded Italian, but born in the US [their parents were born in Italy]. My mother and aunts all married non-Italian men, after witnessing their parents’ marriage and the culture. Sorry to fellow Italians out there, but this has been my family’s experience.
In demographics, it has long been known that when a nation reaches a particular economic plateau, the birthrate drops from large families to between 2.1 and 2.3 children per family, a no growth rate.
However, both government and the predominant culture can lower this birthrate even lower, by placing additional burdens on prospective parents. Often these seem benign, or even beneficial, such as setting minimal standards for education, health and prosperity. Each new requirement discourages a few more couples from having even two children, or any at all.
Other factors, such as employment, prices, taxes, residences; city, suburban or rural living; ease of contraception and abortion, and adult oriented entertainment come into play as well. And then, finally, religion and morality can either encourage or discourage having children.
Only one modern nation has ever succeeded in creating a baby boom, albeit unintentionally, and that is the United States. It achieved this through a peculiar combination of factors.
1) New cities, with far more adults of child bearing age than typical.
2) Mostly male (9-5) employment, with females taking the role of housekeeper, and wages high enough, and taxes low enough, for a one breadwinner household income.
3) A general lack of adult oriented entertainment, though lots of schools, churches, and other family oriented recreation.
4) Boredom, which was a critical factor in deciding to have children for many. If they could afford it, why not have children? It was something to do.
Since this is the only model known to work, if Italy, or Russia, or any of the other developed nations truly wish to increase their marriage and birthrate, this is the way for them to achieve it.
This is a suicide of a whole tribe of modern people. They followed secular elitists (tribal leaders) whose advice and modern culture and education was designed for their demise.
People’s spirits, hearts and minds do not thrive in a culture of death. The culture of death took hold of Western people when the Western secular elite decided the globe was over populated and they hated God and loved evil.
All white tribes will be following the same path; the Italians just led the pack of lemmings. We have all been debased and culturally cleansed. Currently we are permitting the elite in the US to sexually twist children in schools so they will not create normal families and heterosexual relationships in the future.
.
They will get married and they will go back to having kids as the country goes on,if there is an ethnic group or country resilient to keep on surviving it is them.
Yes indeed. Sad to see it coming.

You have solved Riddle of the Sphinx. Very, very, few people can understand the marginal impact of policies like you mentioned. But I do think liberal leaders FULLY understand these impacts, and they are VERY HAPPY with the results.
