In Spain we have already experienced this news, in part we can thank immigration that has ceased to be, because the birth rate in our country seems to be not so worrisome even though we remain below the level of generational replacement. But it is in Argentina where the decline in births has become noticeable in the last three years and already fear for population aging.
History repeats itself, families are increasingly less component, and motherhood is sought much later, waiting at age 35 to start a family is already a habit among the population of developed countries. The Argentine crisis of 2001 may have been the trigger in this case.
Fertility rates are also reduced in these countries, showing a future with an older population. According to Sergio Pasqualini, director of Halitus Medical Institute, it is still not worrisome, but it will be in a few years, since women seek pregnancy from 35 years and in some cases they have already lost maximum fertility, so Both pregnancies are reduced. Nor do doctors perform treatments with the same interest to women who want to be mothers after 40, as they have more risks of complications during pregnancy.
Buenos Aires is among the countries with the lowest fertility rate, unlike Misiones, so there is a difference between jurisdictions. Demographers show that to have a good level of population replacement, the rate should be over 2.1 and there are many countries that are well below, such as Russia, Poland, Germany, Australia or Japan, unlike United States, which slightly exceed the average.
Do you think it is the developed countries, in which the population grows by immigration that have adequate birth rates to maintain a young population?
