00:04 In 2050, for every 100 young people, there will be 300 old people.
00:09 These are the ISTAT projections, which tell of a worrying generational imbalance.
00:14 And it is on the basis of these alarming data that the Natalità Foundation
00:18 has organized in Rome the General States of Nativity,
00:21 which have seen the participation of institutions and companies for an open debate on the subject.
00:26 I am worried because I have to say that the expectation of life in Italy today is 83.1 years.
00:33 Our children will die sooner.
00:35 This makes me anxious, I say this to all Italians.
00:38 This thing should not put us to sleep, because if the health system collapses,
00:43 we will no longer recover some dynamics.
00:46 That's why I say that who is against the fact that there is a healthy system that works?
00:51 Is it any of you? No.
00:53 We have a healthy system with all the limits to which it works.
00:57 So for this we have to fight, other than the funding.
01:01 The only funding for the national health system is the resumption of births.
01:06 It is an intergenerational exchange, it is a balance between young and old.
01:11 This is the center.
01:13 And for this, since this is a topic that is not absolutely divisive,
01:16 because it concerns everyone, I get goosebumps when I see that this thing is not being taken.
01:21 To support policies in favor of birth, greater flexibility of the stability pact is necessary.
01:27 A significant change of pace is necessary, which must be accompanied by instruments such as
01:31 single payment, family factor, services for early childhood,
01:35 for caregiving and reconciliation of work and family.
01:39 It is necessary, however, to break a framework.
01:42 Economies seem not to allow it, Europe seems to have a stringent stability pact.
01:47 We ask that the stability pact is more flexible, not only for the war expenses
01:51 and for the expenses of ecological transition, but also for all investments on birth.
01:56 Also present at the event are institutions and government representatives.
02:00 The issue of birth and also of population aging are priority for the government.
02:06 We have shown it in this year and a half.
02:08 We have allocated more than 2.5 billion with a value declared by the Parliamentary Office of Balance
02:14 of 16 billion only in 2024 to promote families in that natural desire to put the world of children.
02:23 This is a path made on the one hand to encourage birth through support,
02:29 giving unique assignments for children that can be more and more robust,
02:34 but also with work policies that can more and more guarantee the right of every woman
02:39 to be free, to self-determine through work.
