Italy's decreasing population
Italy has been facing a decreasing population problem since the end of World War II, with its fertility rate constantly lower than the natural replacement rate of two, and decreasing over the years.

Right now, Italy has the lowest birth rate in the whole world.

With a decreasing population, in order to sustain economic growth, Italy would have to depend on immigrants to help contribute to the economy.

However, fascist thinking of the Italians has caused them to not accept immigrants readily. Thus, there are strict laws restricting the inflow of migrants.

But, the situation is not as bad in some schools, where a large percentage of the students are young immigrants who picked up the Italian language and are not treated differently from the native Italians.

Can Italy resolve its population problem? Would all Italians be willing to accept immigrants eventually?

We can only wait and see.
