Italy's resident population fell again last year, Istat said Tuesday, decreasing by 37,000 to 58 million 934,000 units as of January 1, 2025.
    "2024 shows a demographic dynamic in continuity with that of the recent post-pandemic years: a limited decline in the resident population, the confirmation of a strongly negative natural dynamic, a positive migratory dynamic," the stats agency said.
    The data were supplied by the president of Istat, Francesco Maria Chelli, in a hearing at the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on the economic and social effects deriving from the demographic transition.
    "The population decline - he specified - does not involve all areas of the country in a generalized way: while in the North the population increases by 1.6 per thousand, the Center and the South record negative variations equal to -0.6 per thousand and -3.8 per thousand respectively".
