The problem of Spanish birth is really serious, we are the European country with fewer children, but the population increases and only thanks to immigration. The European Union shows through Eurostat some data with which you can clearly see the contrast between the other countries and Spain.
In the European Union, births are encouraged and immigration is reduced, the opposite is true in Spain, we are the European country with the most immigration and perhaps because of this, births are not encouraged. Instead of providing the necessary help to the citizens of the country in order to encourage us to have more children, it is allowed to receive a large number of immigrants to replace the lack of population growth. Until 90% of the population growth in Spain is thanks to immigration. We clarify that at all we veto the entry of immigrants to Spain, but it is unfortunate that we need to resort to this action to guarantee the population in the future. Currently our country has 44.4 million inhabitants, just last year the population was increased by 726,100 people, of which only 90,000 were the result of Spanish birth.
We must also recognize that we are very young, and that we have fewer children because we want to enjoy everything that is within reach of wealthy pockets. How many cars do some couples have throughout their lives? It is really preferable to have a car that works and is not the most expensive in the market and enjoy a child, two or three. But anyway, everyone is free to choose how they want to live.
So this is the reality, Spain is lacking children in the country, promoting birth does not only go through information campaigns and aid that cannot be classified as such. Immigration must be given thanks, since they guarantee the growth of a country, hopefully this does not serve as a precedent to avoid promoting aid to families, whether Spanish or abroad.
