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.
