00:00This year, the birth rates have a focus on young people for various reasons.

00:10The first is because the impact of birth rates will be especially severe on the new generations.

00:16In 1950, every two young people had an old man.

00:20Today, every old man has two young people.

00:24In 2050, every young person will have three old people.

00:28This is an important imbalance.

00:30Thank God we live longer, but our old people will have to be properly cared for.

00:35The health expenses will increase.

00:38This is why we need young people.

00:40To put young people in a position to be protagonists,

00:43we need to anticipate times of autonomy, responsibility, leaving the family,

00:47qualifying the type of work they have, remuneration.

00:51We need to think about policies for the house,

00:53not only for the less wealthy, but also for young people and young couples.

00:57This is a significant step forward.

00:59We need tools such as single-parent homes,

01:01family support, early childhood services,

01:04caregiving, and family reconciliation.

01:08We need to break the framework.

01:11Economies don't seem to allow it.

01:13Europe seems to have a strict pact of stability.

01:16We ask for a more flexible pact of stability,

01:19not only for war expenses and ecological transition expenses,

01:23but also for all investments on birth rates.

01:26The government is taking symbolic and economic steps

01:31that have a certain impact,

01:33but in the face of the enormity of the issue,

01:36which concerns not only our country, but the whole West,

01:39we need different resources.

01:41We mentioned Dick Fosbury as the jumper who changed the history of athletics.

01:46We must break the boundaries,

01:48engage Europe in this effort,

01:50and find new resources for our future.
