The country with the lowest birth rate is Spain.

Maria Zuniga, an expert in university of zaragoza, said, "There is an urgent need to take action now. Spain's current fertility rate is 1.26, which is one of the lowest in the world. Our society has turned children into a' luxury'. " Demographer Raphael Puyol pointed out that in a country or region, the "key" threshold to ensure intergenerational population supplement is that the fertility rate reaches 1.5, and the ideal fertility rate is between 2 and 2.1.

According to the website of Spanish newspaper Abesai on December 22nd, how to maintain the operation of a "childless" country under the trend of declining birth rate? Demographers have discussed this issue. The statistics of the Spanish Population Renaissance Foundation reflect this trend. "The baby boom has become history, and we have entered the age of silver hair," said Gonzalo Bavi, chairman of the foundation.

introduction of Spanish population

Alejandro macaroon, CEO of the foundation, said that in 1976, Spain had a population of 36 million and there were almost no foreign immigrants, and there were 677, newborns in the country that year. By 217, Spain had a population of 46.5 million, including 6 million long-term immigrants. In that year, there were only 391, newborns in the country, of which 3, were born to Spanish mothers.

The report quoted data from Spain's National Bureau of Statistics as showing that the number of new births in the first half of this year was less than 177,, the lowest since 1941. But the more serious problem is that this trend continues. Experts say it is difficult to improve this situation, because people's desire to have children is getting lower and lower because of economic conditions and the stability of marriage.
