Italy's resident population is
likely to drop to 58.6 million by 2045 and to 53.7 million by
2065, compared to 60.7 million last year, ISTAT said in a report
on Wednesday.
The national statistics agency said projected births will not
be enough to offset projected deaths.
It said that, taking into account the variability associated
with demographic events, the population estimate for 2065 ranges
from a minimum of 46.1 million to a maximum of 61.5.
ISTAT that the chance of that the population will have
increased by 2065 was 7%.
