Italy's population stops shrinking after 12 years, thanks to migration

Summary
Italy’s population has stabilized after 12 years of decline, largely due to immigration offsetting a significant natural decrease. As of January 2025, the population stood at about 58.94 million, with births falling to a record low of 355,000 and deaths at around 652,000, resulting in a natural decline of nearly 300,000 people.
Net migration of approximately 296,000 compensated for this decline, highlighting Italy’s growing reliance on immigration. The fertility rate dropped further to 1.14, among the lowest in Europe, while the population continues to age. The number of foreign residents rose to 5.56 million.
Life expectancy has also increased, reaching 81.7 years for men and 85.7 for women, placing Italy among the longest-living countries in the EU. Without continued immigration, population decline and pressure on the labor market and public finances are expected to worsen.
