Italy's birth rate is set to continue
on a downward trend this year, with births going under the
400,000-mark for the first time in the post-war period, the head
of national statistics agency ISTAT said on Friday.
"There were 404,000 births in 2020," ISTAT President Carlo
Blangiardo told a conference organized by the Forum of Italian
Family Associations.
"It is estimated that there will be between 384,000 and 393,000
in 2021".
