Analysis# Italy Population Analysis
Italy's population of 58.95 million represents a declining demographic trajectory, having contracted 2.27% over the past decade—a sharp reversal from its peak growth period in the 1960s when the nation experienced robust expansion. Despite ranking 25th globally by population size, Italy's negative growth rate reflects broader European trends of aging populations and below-replacement fertility, positioning the country among the world's slowest-growing developed nations. The 64-year dataset spanning 1960–2024 underscores how Italy transitioned from post-war expansion to sustained population decline, a structural shift with significant implications for workforce participation and social security systems.
