Italy among the last to 1.29 children per woman fertility

Strong increase in foreign born: from 1, 7 of '95 to 11%, 4% in 2007. Italian, active demographic balance in a child in 10 is the son of immigrants. The expert: "The 40 law on assisted reproduction has not improved the situation. In just four years after the entry into force, the number of births decreased by 2.78%. Italian, active demographic balance in a child in 10 is the son of immigrants "The Italian

are fewer and fewer children, but the national demographic balance is positive, the high birth rate of foreign nationals. E ', in fact, the son of an immigrant child of ten, while foreigners account for 5 percent of the Italian population. And 'what emerges from a study of the Artes Centre of Turin, which specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility in couples, which drew up the official ISTAT data, WHO (World Health Organization) and the 2007 CIA estimates (CIA World Factbook) . The latest statistics place our country among the last to fertility rate, with a value for 2007 of 1.29 children per woman. A phenomenon common to almost all industrialized countries, but none has evolved so marked as in Italy. The fertility rate in the 15 EU countries between 1960 and 2007 fell from 2.59 to 1.50 children per woman, while in Italy has almost halved (from 2.41 to 1, 29). "The decline of births in Italy is an obvious fact - said Alessandro Di Gregorio, Director of the Artes of Turin - also because of an evolution of society that has moved forward about 35 years, the average age of women who choose to become mothers. The difficulties in getting pregnant, then increase and the introduction of Law 40 (editor's note on fertility treatment), did not improve the situation. In just four years after the entry into force, the births are decreased by 2.78%. Not to mention the other serious consequences, has quadrupled the number of couples who, with the hope of conceiving a child, have traveled abroad (+200) and multiple pregnancies increased from 16% to 23%, with consequent risks to the health of fetuses, which may lead to neonatal death to prematurity. "Cala, then, the number of births in Italy (519,731 in 2004 and 505,202 in 2007, well in 14,528 births minus) while that of a registered foreign born strong increase (from 48,925 in 2004 to 57,925 in 2007 with the balance, born +8840). In addition, the average annual growth rate of foreigners is estimated to Caritas-Migrantes, is approximately 325 000, which leads to the hypothesis more than a doubling of the immigrant population here in 10 years: Given that the rate of growth of the foreign population does not seem to tend to decrease in 2050 the immigrants will account for 17 to 20% of the population.

The Italian population, in January 2007 was 59,157,091 persons (Istat). Legal immigrants in Italy are so close to 5% of the population. The incidence of births of foreign children in the total Italian population has increased from just over 9 thousand (1.7%) in 1995 to 11, 4% in 2007. "The Italian fertility decline is a cause for concern - Di Gregorio continues - for this reason, along with many other gynecologists who share my thoughts, I ask the new government to act clearly and decisively once and for all on the Law 40, which effectively blocks the development of medicine and prevents conception in couples who find it difficult to dream, to hope again. A law that takes us back to the Middle Ages. "In Italy, according to Istat, 2005, the fertility rate is much higher in Trentino Alto Adige (1.54 in 2005) than the national average. The figure of the Veneto region (1, 35) Instead, it is just above it, while the Friuli Venezia Giulia, which stood for many years even to less than 1, there always remains the region with the lowest fertility rate (1.23 in 2005) .

With abortion went so

Thirty years ago the decisive session of the House for approval 194. Both of the Senate comes just nine days after the assassination of Aldo Moro. With the exchange of votes and abstentions between PCI and DC wears the killing of a law. Women's anger explodes. ( Eleonora Martini )

"There are laws that mark more than others or more immediate daily life, which change the quality, so to speak. The law last night the Senate has finally approved by 160 votes to 148, is certainly one of them. "

On May 19, 1978 Miriam Mafai announces that the first page of La Repubblica the launch of the final Act 194 with which Italy legalizes abortion. Il Corriere della Sera headline instead: "Law is necessary, painful choices." With the Senate so it ends - at least so it seemed at the time - after years of battles and political and cultural clashes. A climate that has recently become very harmful to the path of "historic compromise" which is being initiated with the Christian Democrats and Communists morotei berlingueriani. The situation then drops when the Red Brigades kidnapped and killed, May 9, the president of the Christian Democrats, Aldo Moro. It goes without saying that when the text of the law comes to the Senate, just nine days after that tragic event, voting slips away without much debate and emozioni.

Ma la vera partita si è già giocata il 14 aprile alla Camera, con una lunga e sofferta seduta. «Pci e Dc si scambiano voti e astensioni e concordano il massacro della legge. La ritirata radicale», è il titolo d'apertura del manifesto, il giorno dopo. Sono passati esattamente trent'anni e vale la pena oggi ripercorrere - a grandi linee - quei giorni, per interrogarsi su cosa abbia rappresentato davvero quel voto del '78 e su come si sia giunti alla formulazione di una legge entrata talmente nella nostra consuetudine da essere semplicemente chiamata «la 194».

Mentre già dal 1973 in Parlamento venivano presentate le prime proposte di legge in materia, come quella del deputato socialista Loris Fortuna, the feminist movement overcoming internal divisions and splits instead fights for the legalization of abortion but not for its decriminalization. For a form on which to conclude that the intervention abortion like any other medical treatment to be rendered to those in need. Then in '75, are particularly stir the arrests of the Secretary Gianfranco Spadaccia radical, accused of organizing illegal abortions in a clinic in Florence, and I militants Adele and Emma Bonino, who autodenunciano. And while the columns of the Corriere della Sera Pier Paolo Pasolini is morally opposed to abortion, the Express, along with the extra-parliamentary left, began a campaign for a referendum. But the real news arrives, again in '75, with a ruling by the Constitutional Court declaring abortion illegal punishment when it is a threat to women's health and calls on the government to legislate on the basis that "it can not be conceived at a total head and absolute "than the woman's body. So we arrive at April 14, 1978, when the House votes to put the text of the 194. The session lasts for 36 hours without interruption due to obstruction of the Radicals, with MPs forced to spend the night here, "camping out" between the benches, as the chronicles of the time. A deadlock, we think the president Pietro Ingrao, convened a meeting in his office with team leaders and find agreement with the Radicals: end obstruction and in return, the referendum on public financing to political parties in June, will add a question to repeal the law on the Royal Arms. The 194 goes well with 308 votes: those of the PCI, PSI, PSDI, PRI, PLI, and a group of Democrats. 275 deputies voted against: almost all the Democrats, the Radicals, the MSI, the Pdup-Dp.

The text adopted is seriously worse than the original, developed since January '77 by a joint parliamentary committee and cross that had been given the task of finding a happy synthesis of all the bills submitted so far. Then, the law was approved by the same benches with the votes of the extreme left, but then was rejected in the Senate. In one year, but much has changed, especially in recent months: the March 16 Br Aldo Moro kidnap and kill the five men of his escort. That morning the House was expected vote of confidence in the government Andreotti V, who resigned on March 11 because the Communist Party had withdrawn support from outside and asked to enter the government. On 9 May, 55 days after opening a deep debate among Italians, is recovered via Caetani in the body of Aldo Moro. On 16 May the government of one color Andreotti regains the confidence vote with the Communists and Socialists. Even the final approval of the 194 seals in the Senate in some ways a new-found "national solidarity".

Law But it ends up frustrating a bit 'all. The Christian Democrats, agreeing to withdraw any clause that characterize abortion as a crime, incurring the wrath of the Vatican. And women EDU "shouted their anger at Parliament for the massacre of the original text," writes the poster. Two articles in particular claims, 5 and 12, amended by the DC in a pejorative sense. The first is that the doctor or the clinic in preliminary talks involving the father of the unborn, "where she permits it." The second procedure provides a more restrictive for minors 18 years and raises the age limit for self-determination (in the original text was 16). Also opposed is Article 9 objectors consciousness of thought for those who are already health profession might feel compelled to "suffer" a rule contrary to their morals.

Thirty years later, upset the political landscape and social change characters, roles and deployments are redrawn, but the woman's body remains the preferred ground on which to play elsewhere.

Bologna - In migliaia cacciano Giuliano Ferrara da P.zza Maggiore

Giuliano Ferrara è stato costretto a interrompere il comizio elettorale da una determinata e rumorosa contestazione. Le pesanti cariche della polizia non hanno impedito alle donne e agli uomini di riprendersi la piazza e conquistare il palco da cui è stato ribadito il diritto all’autodeterminazione e il rifiuto di ogni tentativo di control and criminalization of women's choices over their lives.

This afternoon, thousands of women and men, particularly girls, have prevented Giuliano Ferrara to play a regular campaign rally for the list "Abortion? No, thank you. " The / demonstrators have set up a noisy protest near the stage where the rally was held in a piazza Maggiore reinforced by police and cordoned off.

When Giuliano Ferrara took the word was struck by a chorus of whistles and trips that claimed the right to self-women, covering his ravings. A roll of vegetables and eggs, Ferrara responded insulting / demonstrators and in turn raising objects from the stage, while the police using force and batons tried to disperse the people who continued to shout and whistle. The editor of Il Foglio was then forced to leave the stage. When the protesters chased the continuing dispute determined, the police charged heavily causing several injuries.

Subsequently, the garrison with hundreds of other people with the sound system of social space and the Network for autoderminazione, which was taking place parallel to the protest in Piazza Nettuno, has exceeded the barrier of fences and police and who had met in Piazza Maggiore.

A great crowd of women and men was then taken back in Piazza Maggiore, is directed towards conquering the stage, raising the roof with the election symbols and putting up the banner "Get out of your control our bodies." They then followed a series of interventions that have confirmed that the 194 does not touch, that freedom of speech of the list of Ferrara will never erase the freedom of choice of each and everyone and re-launched the fight against any attempt to normalize behavior and control bodies.
