MADRID, December 11, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Spanish authorities revealed that tens of thousands more citizens died than were born in the first six months of 2019. The alarming statistics not only reveal this time period to have the lowest birthrate in almost 80 years, but they also highlight the country’s trend toward what observers are calling the country’s “demographic suicide.”
According to the Spanish National Statistical Institute (INE), between January and June of this year, Spain saw only 170,074 children born. In this same time frame, 215,478 citizens died. This means that there was a decline in Spain’s population by 45,404 persons during that period. Having a death rate higher than the birth rate indicates a shrinking population.
According to the INE, the number of births registered for January-June this year represents a drop of 6.2% in comparison to the same period in 2018. This is the worst birth rate ever registered by Spain, which began keeping birth statistics in 1941, just two years after the devastating civil war in the country that caused as many as 2 million deaths in just three years.
Spain’s total population grew slightly last year by 284,387 people (0.6%), thanks to immigration, putting the total at 47 million in 2018. This was the first overall increase since 2013. The total population had dropped during the intervening years. Spain is a favorite destination not only for European tourists, but also elderly European pensioners and young migrants from Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.
Stats show that Spain’s population is getting older. The average age of all residents is 43.4 years. The average age of native-born Spaniards is 44.2 years, while foreigners average 36.1 years. Foreigners constitute the younger crowd in Spain: 55% of foreigners are between the ages of 16 to 44 years.....

Such beautiful people...going extinct.
50 years ago the Left was pushing ZPG (Zero Population Growth) and only the West signed onto it.
We are killing ourselves off and importing replacements that don’t care about civil rights, freedoms, or liberties.
This is good news for the Climate Change activists that want to see the population reduced by 5 billion
Hmmmmm...I would venture to state that the majority of newborns are named Mohammad.
Guess I better visit Spain in the near future.
Lovely young lady. She will surely have her pick of all the — as the author puts it — “ young migrants from Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.”
Ping
So—— let the Moors back in, and reverse Spain’s entire recovery from their prior “visit” which took 800 years in the Reconquista.
A better idea— Spain, is to procreate and not allow immigration, because your social safety hammock needs money. Do as the Roman Consul’s instructed in their times of need-—make new generations of productive (earning) people to create and grow and make things. Such is the nature of Sovereign nations to make such directions and inspire the people to live long multiply and prosper. And keep taking a look at the little monster that is Greta Thunberg (the product of Swedish inbreeding, mental defective).
By then, they may have the pick of her.
When I see the death of the West as we abort our future,the statistic left out is the one birth rate that is rapidly CLIMBING: Islam and other third world colonists.
Far better to adjust to the new reality, than to flood in moslems and africans. And make things decent again so people want children.
The Muzzies will fill in for them.
Want higher birth rates?
Stop taxing everything to death
Marriage between biological man/biological woman
stable economy
divorce reform/child support reform, don’t require men to pay $1.50 in child support for every $1.00 they earn
get rid of lawyers
and don’t treat women like spoiled princesses
Spain should take in their latino descendants. Calif, for instance, has a few dozen million they can have.
This is good news for the Climate Change activists that want to see the population reduced by 5 billion
They could start by killing themselves
Problem solved
Wasn’t that the plan?
