“House, work and support for young people against birth rate decline and emigration”

L’AQUILA – “Italy has been grappling with the birth rate decline for years, but only recently, thanks to the centre-right government and Forza Italia in particular, has the problem been considered in its gravity and specific delegations have been attributed to a ministry , that of equal opportunities. And the first initiatives aimed over time at reversing a very dangerous trend for our country have been activated.”

Thus the architect Eliseo Iannini, candidate for Forza Italia in the European elections in June in the Southern constituency, on an issue for which “an immediate and concrete financial and planning intervention is necessary, also involving the new Europe that will emerge from the polls”.

“In the South, the birth rate decline must be added to emigration, especially of young people. The negative effects of this situation are already evident and will be dramatic in a very short time if we do not change gear. In this sense, it is important that the national government acts in harmony with the Regions and with the EU itself – adds the Abruzzo entrepreneur, highlighting the fields that require immediate and concrete financial and planning intervention. “Work, housing and support for young people, with an eye on young couples, are the priorities to pursue. We will have to deploy high-level skills and planning to channel state and, above all, European resources to Abruzzo, Molise, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria and Campania. Let’s just think about how many opportunities tourism offers. In the South, there is a problem within the problem, which is that of the internal areas. Istat data tell us that since the surveys began, i.e. since 1951, 1.2 million inhabitants have left the internal areas of the South, i.e. 2.5 per thousand as an annual average which is a lot also in relation to the data nationally which is 1.6 per thousand. In the entire South, one municipality in three systematically loses inhabitants and the population is significantly older in the South than in the Center and North. The activity to be implemented – concludes architect Iannini – is that which will allow the talents of our lands to work well and have services to raise a family: politics, entrepreneurs, universities and trade associations must row in one direction . Valuing talent means valuing the South.”
