Rome, Italy, May 13, 2021 / 13:00 pm (CNA).
Leaders in Italy’s public and private sectors will meet Friday to discuss the country’s dismal birth rate in a high-profile event including Pope Francis and Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
The country faces a demographic crisis, as experts predict that the already low European birth rate will be further affected by the coronavirus pandemic, which has already hit the Italian economy especially hard.
The situation “is no longer sustainable,” commented Gigi De Palo, president of the Family Associations Forum, the group organizing the March 14 event.
The association promotes pro-life and pro-family policies at the governmental level, and De Palo has been an outspoken advocate for relief of the Italian tax burden on families.
