Italy’s fertility rate just hit 1.13 children per woman.
Only 370,000 babies born in 2024—the lowest since 1861.
There is no recovery from 1.1.
The age pyramid is an inverted tombstone. Even if every woman doubled her births tomorrow, there aren’t enough young women left to ever reach replacement again.
Spain, South Korea, Japan, Germany, Portugal, Eastern Europe… and soon the U.S. are locked on the same path.
The playgrounds are silent.
The strollers are gone.
Goodbye, sweet west world.
