The per capita fertility rate of women of childbearing age in Spain is low.

According to Spanish media reports, the per capita fertility rate of Spanish women of childbearing age is low, only 1.32 children, with an average childbearing age of 30.6 years, which is relatively late. Researchers at the Institute of Economics, Geography and Democracy (IEGD) said that if the fertility rate does not increase and the immigration policy in Spain does not change significantly, the Spanish population will be halved within 50 years.

According to the data released by the Spanish Statistics Bureau on 20 15, for the first time in history, the number of births was less than the number of deaths, and the Spanish population showed negative growth. ? Many couples want to have two children, but in the end they only have one. The key to the problem is not motivation, but how to provide better conditions to promote fertility. .

Take Italy for example. At present, every woman of childbearing age in Italy has 1.45 children per capita. The low fertility rate makes the Italian Ministry of Health actively promote the fertility of women of childbearing age. The activity even suggested that people with children can apply for indefinite labor contracts, apply for housing mortgage loans, and run nurseries for their children near their homes.

On average, in order to keep a country's population stable, every woman needs to have 2.2 children. From the perspective of Europe as a whole, the situation in Northern Europe and Western Europe is better, with women of childbearing age in France, Ireland and Sweden giving birth to 2.0 1, 1.94 and 1.88 children per capita; Germany and eastern European countries are generally between 1.37 and 1.54; Spain, Portugal, Poland and Greece are below 1.37, which will also be the areas most seriously troubled by the decline in the birth rate of the elderly population.

Researchers at the Institute of Economics, Geography and Democracy (IEGD) said that Spain should pay attention to relaxing the immigration policy for colleagues who are trying to increase the fertility rate. According to the latest data from the National Statistics Office of Spain, as of June 20 1 year, the legal immigrant population in Spain was 4.45 million, accounting for 9.58% of the total population in Spain. At present, the proportion of Spanish immigrant population in total consumption has reached 9%; Two out of every ten newborns are born in Spanish immigrant families.
