Eurostat: le mamme italiane restano le più anziane nell’Ue con il primo figlio a 31,9 anni

It’s a miracle that someone still wants to have children considering the awful situation of the job market here. We should work on the salaries and on the job security, removing all the stupid contracts that exist only to allow companies to recycle people frequently without consequences.
A bit off-track, but so that all you European friends know roughly why this is.

I tried having my kids in Italy but we eventurallt came back to the U.K. because Italy is just 30 years behind in so may ways. Backwards mentality, no support or opportunity for youth, they still expect people to do apprenticeships for €3ph and be grateful for them. There’s no children just old really judgy old people. Italy is a dead country. Excellent for tourism but dam right awful to live there.

I feel very sorry for young people in Italy right now and hope every opportunity finds them before they too are forgotten.
