Italy's fertility rate of 1.21 children per woman is below the 2.1 replacement level needed to maintain population size without immigration. However, projections suggest a gradual recovery to 1.48 by 2100. Women are also having children later—mean age at childbearing has risen from 27.5 to 32.3 since 1980.
