As much of Europe struggles with tumbling birth rates that experts say threaten long-term economic well-being, Greece is a stark example of how hard it will be to reverse the trend.

In 2022, Greece recorded the lowest number of births in 92 years, according to most recent data, driven by the debt crisis that led to years of austerity and emigration, and changed attitudes among the young. Preliminary unofficial data indicate another drop in 2023.
Greece’s fertility rate is one of the lowest in Europe: some villages have not recorded a single birth in years.
The government is planning in May to unveil new measures to boost birth rates, officials told Reuters.
The plan includes cash benefits for families, affordable housing for young people, financial incentives for assisted reproduction, and incorporating migrants into the workforce, according to officials drafting the initiatives including the family minister.
However, similar measures have fallen flat in other EU countries in recent decades, and demographers expect little difference in Greece. Even those behind the plans have doubts.
“If I were to tell you that any given minister at any given ministry … can reverse the trend, it would be a lie,” Sofia Zacharaki, Greece’s minister for social cohesion and family affairs, told Reuters.
Still, she said, “We need to keep trying.”
Greece’s economy has rebounded in recent years, but falling birth rates are, according to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, a “national threat” and a “ticking time bomb” for pensions.
“This is one of the most serious problems we face not only in Greece but in the EU as a whole,” Finance Minister Kostis Hatzidakis told Reuters. “It is our priority … whatever it takes.”
The above was extracted from the article ‘The losing battle against Greece’s tumbling birth rate’ published by Kathimerini English Edition which is also published in Greece and Cyprus along with the New York Times International.
Kathimerini’s article is a reproduction of a report made by Reuters. Surprisingly, Kathimerin and Reuters make no mention of the “deadly” impact of covid, as corporate media outlets have constantly and falsely promoted for years. And as is usual for corporate media, the elephant in the room – the harmful and deadly effects of the covid injections – is completely ignored.

The first chart is the birth rate for Greece from 1950 to 2021; the second is the death rate over the same period and the third is the population growth rate for the ten years 2011 to 2021. All images included in this article were retrieved from Our World in Data’s website on 10 April 2024.
The mass covid injection campaign in Greece began on 27 December 2020. According to Our World in Data’s Covid-19 Data Explorer, as of 5 February 2022, 75% of roughly 10.5 million Greek residents had received at least one covid injection.
Below is Our World in Data’s chart for cumulative excess mortality from all causes in Greece from 5 January 2020 to 31 December 2023. The first chart is for the number of people and the second is the percentage of excess mortality compared to a projection based on previous years.

[…] Greece’s tumbling birth rates will be difficult if not impossible to reverse […]
Have family in Greece. Everyone in Greece had to be vaccinated in order to live there. Of course the population numbers are falling, that’s what the vaccines do, over time and in the longer term – Greece is a fine example of how the vaccines will reduce population numbers wherever you happen to live in just the same way, there are just more of you to exterminate, so it takes longer, that’s all.
The Elite want to get rid of us because that call us Human Garbage and once vaccinated ,the vaccines and the deaths they cause can’t be stopped, changed or told not to happen, it does not work that way.
You have a problem with this, then the problem is with your Elite, wherever they happen to live and if you can’t control their numbers one way, then control them the other way, by injecting them with their vaccines too
Win/Win
If only it were possible to rid ourselves of the elites !
Because the deadly global cabal wants their islands. Land grabbing. Before the covid, Greece was one sent to bankruptcy and the IMF wanted their islands for ‘help’.
am greek and live in greece. while there was very heavy pressure (overall the heaviest and craziest and most extreme ‘measures’ and restrictions in all of europe, and lasting far longer than in other countries) , it was still possible to avoid it – it was a huge amount of hassle, a huge amount of difficulty, cost money (they even hit people with fines for not accepting the injections!) but some of us held out and remain pureblood even today.
the falling birth rates were only made worse by the injection regime, but the phenomenon is broader and has to do with the basic facts: when you have a population that is constantly harrassed, restricted, compelled, controlled, constantly in fear of running afoul of some almost arbitrary system that just wants to levy penalties and confiscate peoples property, and on top of all that working for some of the lowest wages in the ‘developed’ world paying almost the highest taxes.. people are up against the wall. raising a family seems an impossible goal. i think every day of how i can move my family to america for a better future.
I was reading your comment and thinking you made sense until you said you wanted to move to America for a better future. I’d rather stay in Greece if I were you.

“Economic well-being” was wanted , but without economy and without people. Or maybe few, but poor. That’s well being…Maybe soon the taxes will fall for them from the sky.
Zero sum game … if people have to pay taxes so they cannot afford children which is where it is now then why is anybody surprised that birth rates will fall.
If you have a child paid for from government subsidies then who is being selfish here and exactly who is bringing that child into poverty?
Not me, I can’t afford one because of taxes and a crushed income.
I used to had the same opinion, world is too cruel and we are too poor to have children so maybe 1 or 2 but 0 probably is better.
Look around white people are disappearing due to this, everyone else is ok because they don’t care. I mean they accepted the sad reality that due to being poor they can lose a child or more or children can grow up in poverty.
I don’t say they are right, but I say that method is working for the survival of humanity.
The whole tax system should be targeted and demolished, we got nothing in exchange but poisons, vax on our tax, deadly street lights, added fluoride, they use our money to poison us while till we produce they live a very good life from our money. I don’t remember agreeing of being taxed, as I didn’t volunteer, it is forced upon me in the name of pay or else… mafia in suits.
