Gian Carlo Blangiardo, Former President of Istat, Statistician, and Professor of Demography at the University of Milano-Bicocca; Adriano Bordignon, National President of the Forum of Family Associations; Matteo Rizzolli, Professor of Economic Policy, LUMSA University; Eugenia Roccella, Minister for Family, Birth Rate, and Equal Opportunities; Giuseppe Zola, Vice President of the Nonni 2.0 Association. Moderated by Lorenza Violini, Professor of Constitutional Law, University of Milan.

By combining ethical, political, and statistical perspectives, the meeting establishes connections between the problems that arise for the development of democracy when a country’s birth rate reaches levels that make fundamental elements of the system unsustainable as a whole, not just those related to the pension system. These elements will be highlighted in the various reports to raise awareness of the seriousness of the current situation and to outline some possible solutions.
