I still think the cause is lack of marriages. They still buy homes, they just don't live in them. Here, in the US, people generally get married than buy a home, not the other way around. Perhaps there should be more of an incentive in Italy to get married, and less of an incentive to own a home unless married. I.e. taxation and itemization laws...

Click.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

But for those without wives?
I'm not sure I agree with these subsidies. I don't think that they are going to raise the birthrate enough to get them back to replacement level.
Canada's in the same boat, IIRC, our birthrate is 1.4 children per women.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

IN here.. I believe we are less and less by the day? Not sure..
And that is, because everyone is going for higher educations, no one is having babies before their careers and mid 30s, because if they don't, they'll be poor forever and have to beat people to get food on the table and for the kid.
Having a kid is just too expensive in here. Just that simple.In da butt.

True, but this may be changing - just look at the rapid recovery of Spain's population growth, it rose by 0.9% between 1992 and 1997 but by 3.0% from 1997 to 2002.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Guess I have to move back to the motherland.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
