Italian Population Problems

This article talks about Italy’s population; the new report says: Italian population is getting older and the income gap between north and south is still increasing. However, Italy has the highest ageing index in the European Union. In addition, Italy has a number of a jobless, even in the north or south, and the report found that Italy has the highest percent in Europe of young people who drop out of school. Also, the population has a problem with pensions. Finally, the population in Italy has grown from the immigrants who came from different countries.

This article is very interesting, and we can see from the article that the Italian population has many problems and the government should figure out how to solve these problems. First, there are big numbers of old people, more than young people. Second, Italy suffers from the economy. Third, students have to get more education.

First, there are big numbers of old people, more than young people; the Italian population suffers from old people. According to the article, “Italy has the highest ageing index in the European Union, since it counts 141 people over 65 for every 100 who are under 18”. So, the government should encourage the population to get more children. For example, if these old people have enough children, they will support them and will increase the population. As a result Italians have to increase the number of children because they are very important for old people and the population.

Second, the economy in Italy; Italian population is suffering with its preseat economy. According to the article, “The gap is especially great in terms of jobs. Overall unemployment has shrunk to 6.8 percent, but in the south and the Sicily the jobless rate is nearly twice that, at 12.2percent”. As a result, the economic system in Italy is different from north and south. The government should give a good chance for the people to get jobs and offer good salaries to encourage these people to work. In addition, the government has to give more pensions to help the population. These factors will help the economy in Italy.

Third, students have to get more education; the number of students who drop out of school is increasing; according to the article, “The report found that 21 percent of young people drop out of school, compared with a European average of 15 percent.” The Italian families have to return these students to school by giving them education and telling them how important school is. Also the government has to help these students by giving them pensions and free education. Finally, school is very important and the students should return to school and get more education and knowledge to improve their country.

In conclusion, the population in Italy has many problems, which are big numbers of old people more than young people, Italian population suffering about the economy and students having to get more education. In the end these problems have to get solutions to improve the population.

Europe Population Problems

This article talks about how Western Europe will be changed to an embranchment of the Muslim World. This change means a less welcoming place for Americans, Israelis, and Jews. The last recent report showed us how birthrates are reducing in the European Union. However, the numbers of deaths each year have started to be more than the number of births. In addition, the author explains how the European population is declining and on the other hand how the Muslim population has grown up. In the end, the author noticed that the Muslim population will cover all Europe, because the European population is going down.

This article is factual; Europe has a population problem. If we focus on Italy, which has the same problem, we can see according to the article "the birthrates hover around just 1.3 per couple, leading some forecasters to suggest that Italy’s population could shrink by one-third by the middle of the century". The immigrants who come to Italy, Italian people who left the country, and women who have fewer children, these three factors are the causes of the population problem.

First, today Italy got a big number of immigrants; people from around the world come to Italy to find a job and get a better life that they didn’t find in their own country. The Italian government should control the immigrants; for example, there are many countries near Italy from African; these countries have a big number of people and a poor life, so they leave their country to find better life in Italy. Certainly, if the population declines, the number of immigrants will increase. So the Italian government should control the immigrants and increase the population.

Second, Italian people who left the country, they wanted to find better life. For example, we can see there are many Italians in United States who left their country to get a better education in college or a better job. The Italian government should find solutions to bring these people back. For example, the government should offer a better job for these people and a better education to bring them back. Finally, Italian people who left the country should return to their country to solve the population problem.

Third, now in Italy the women have fewer children; however, this is the most important factor about the population problem. The Italian government should encourage these women to have more children to increase the population. For example, if the government helps the women by giving money to these women who have a lot of children, so the number of the children will be increasing. Especially the birth rate in Italy according to the article is around 1.3 per couple. For example, if every couple gets at least 3 children, then the population will increase. Finally, children are the first factor to increase the population.

In conclusion, the population problem is growing up in Italy. And the immigrants who come to Italy, Italian people who left the country, and women who have fewer children, these three factors are the causes of this problem. In the end this problem is not just in Italy, but also in all Europe and these 3 factors are the best solutions.

What are The Most Important Things for Family?

Today fewer people care about family; people should know how important family is in life. People should believe that family is the most important thing to bring happiness. Also, people have to care about the relationship with their own family, because family can help the person if he feels bad or has a problem. When people want to make a family they should take care about three things: first, their age has to be at least 25 years old; second, the kind of family has to be a traditional family; and third, they should care about the size of family.

First, 25 years old is the perfect age for a person to start a family; after this age people can control their behavior. They can have more responsibility to have a family. Also at this age a person has enough education and knowledge. The person can work to get money to spend this money on his family. For example, when the person becomes 25 years old he is probably finished with school and ready to have a job. In the end age is very important, so people must be old enough when they want to make a family.

Second, family is very important for children and there are many kinds of family. For example, there is a traditional family, which is father, mother and their children, and nontraditional family, which is gay or lesbian. Traditional family is the most common in the world. People should make a traditional family because children need both father and mother. For example, when people want to make a family they should make a traditional family as we have known from hundreds years in the past, and choose their own family from their culture to make their children successful in the future. On the other hand nontraditional family is always doesn’t continue because children need father and mother to take care for them. As a result, traditional family is the best choice to have stability.


Third, the size of family is very important; people should pay attention to this point. Some people have a lot of children, and then they live in poverty; they can’t afford anything to help their family, even if they have a job, but their salary can’t help their family, so the father tries to help his family but he can’t; the children will not get education or knowledge to be successful in the future and help society. On the other hand, some people have just the right number of children, so the father can afford everything these children need to be useful and helpful for their family and for society.

one opposite idea is that 25 years old is too old to have family, and that after high school is the best time; for example, some people have said after high school people have to make family because when people have family they will be protected from bad behavior. In fact this idea is reasonable, because family is good for people, but at this age people don’t have any experience that can support them in having a good family. For example, after high school people haven’t become mature, and don’t have education, so if these people have family at this age they have a big chance to get divorce, then the children will suffer and will not grow up in a good environment. As a result people have to be ready when they want to make a family.

In conclusion, there is no life without family; people have to be more heedful about family is and how family important, especially with what kind of family people should have, when the person becomes old enough to have family, and what size of family is the best.
