due to the migration balance, which once again was extremely
positive while the natural population balance was negative. There
were fewer deaths and births compared to 2009. For the forth
consecutive year, the natural dynamic (difference between births
and deaths) registered a negative balance of -30,200 units. The
estimated number of births was 557,000 units, resulting in a birth
rate of 9.2 per thousand residents. There were about 12,200 fewer
births than in 2009. In 2010, the average number of children per
woman (TFR - total fertility rate) was 1.40, which is just under
the 1.41 of 2009.2011-01-21T12:41:18+01:002012-11-28T16:23:57+01:00http://www.istat.it/en/archive/7341During the course of 2009, continued population growth was mostly
due to the migration balance, which once again was extremely
positive while the natural population balance was negative. More
deaths were recorded than in the past, and there were fewer births
compared to 2008. The total population balance was positive for the
year 2009 as well, thanks in large part to the migration dynamic.
After the historic threshold of 60 million residents was passed at
the end of 2008, the year 2009 showed a further increase of 342,000
units for a rate of 5.7 per thousand inhabitants (as compared to
7.1 in 2008), summing to a total of 60,387,000 residents as of the
end of 2009.
