  • "Examines how Italy, a country which opposes artificial means of contraception, has experienced the fastest and most extreme decline in fertility ever recorded. Experts attribute the decline to consumer materialism, while others blame the underdeveloped welfare system. This program considers the consequences of an aging population with fewer young people to support it."@en
  • "Italy is now the first country in the history of mankind in which the number of people 60 years and older is greater than the number aged 20 or less. This film examines the factors which contribute to the very low fertility rates in Italy."@en
  • "Although the spiritual center of the Roman Catholic Church which opposes artificial means of contraception, Italy has recorded since World War II the fastest and most extreme decline in fertility ever recorded. This is attributed to post-war industrialisation, to the massive entry of women into the workforce, and to a consumer materialism of parents who want to "have it all". The impact has been a reduction of school-age children by over 25% and a reduced workforce. Interviewed are Antonio Golini, Armando Montanari, Valerio Terra Abrami, Piero DaGradi and Marco Ricci."@en
  • "Although Italy is the spiritual centre of the Roman Catholic Church, which opposes artificial means of contraception, the country has the fastest and most extreme decline in fertility ever recorded. Some have attributed the decline to consumer materialism. Others claim it is the result of Italy's underdeveloped welfare system. Whatever the cause, the consequence for Italy is a rapidly aging population with a smaller base of young people to support it."
