Spain's birth rate drops to the lowest level since records began over 80 years ago
Fox News
Spain has reported a declining birth rate in 2023 with just 322,075 babies born. Some regions are offering financial benefits and tax deductions to encourage families to have children.
Eurostat's data showed the rate in Spain at 1.19 live births per woman compared to the EU average of 1.53, both far short of the 2.1 at which existing population levels would be maintained.
Demographers and economists have urged Europe to rethink attempts to boost its flagging birth rate and some Spanish regions have introduced financial measures and tax deductions to encourage people to start families.
