Population Transition in Italy

Synopsis: Focusing on Italy as an extreme case, this programme follows up one of the crucial issues in understanding population change - the decline in fertility in Italy. It describes what has happened to Italy’s demographic regime and offers explanations such as the crucial role of Catholic family values, late and rapid industrialisation and restricted welfare systems. Also considers the implications of low fertility for Italian society and the economy.
