Italy is in the top five aging nations

Experts say that Italy can rightfully be called one of the most aging countries. The homeland of wine and fashion has been awarded this title by the Central Bureau of Statistics (ISTAT) based on recent research.

According to the ISTAT annual report, the constant increase in the life expectancy of Italians, as well as a decrease in the birth rate, have moved the country of romance to the top five of the oldest nations in the world.

Democratic issues have plagued the country over the past few years. Perhaps one of the most striking examples is the history of the small village of Lissa, where the first child born in 67 years was born two months ago. Previously, only five people lived in this Italian village, and with the birth of little Francesco, six became.

Mom and baby's dad, Sabrina, 31, and Michel, 42, moved to Lissa in order to give birth to a child in the village, away from city noise and dust. Sabrina got a job at a school in a neighboring village, and her husband is engaged in a house and a newborn.

Sabrina and Michelle are direct confirmation of statistics from previous years: Italians plan to give birth to a child for a long time and often put it off. Most often, one child is born in the family. Italians decide to become pregnant after thirty years.

According to the bureau, in Italy for every hundred youth representatives, there are approximately 148.6 pensioners. By this indicator, only one country managed to get around the Apennine Peninsula - Germany, where it is 155.8%.

Today, the average life expectancy in the country is 79.4 years for men and 84.4 years for the fair sex.

In 2011, scientists have already confirmed that the average life expectancy on the Apennine Peninsula is growing very rapidly from year to year, although in general the nation can be called healthy. Nevertheless, 2 years ago, the Ministry of Health sounded the alarm: despite the fact that the number of fatal cases from cancer and cardiovascular diseases fell sharply, the incidence of anxiety and chronic disorders increased, thereby “providing” Italy one of the first places on the list the most mentally unhealthy nations.

The same Bureau of Statistics in May published suicide statistics on its website from 1993 to 2010, which clearly indicates that the 2008 crisis significantly affected the mental state of all of Europe and Italy in particular. The homeland of fashion and wine was at the end of the list topped by the Baltic countries, Norway, Sweden, Germany and, to everyone's surprise, Switzerland.

In its report, the Central Bureau of Statistics also indicated that over the four years of the crisis, unemployment in the country has increased: the number of Italians without permanent income has increased by one million. The influx of foreigners into Italy over the past decade has tripled: if in 2001 the country was home to 1,300,000 visitors from different countries, then in 2011 their number exceeded 4 million, two thirds of which live in the center of the country.
