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) .
