The emigration of young people is only deepening the birth wound. Fewer and fewer babies are being born in the country.
Last year, about 22,000 babies were born, while in 1942, 36,000 children were born. Last year, 4 births were registered in Leskovik. 3 in emigration and 1 baby is growing in Leskovik.
Sociologist Gëzim Tushi says that these figures are alarming and urgent measures must be taken to demotivate emigration.
"We are not at war, nor do we have natural disasters, nor health pandemics, so that we have a drop in births to the limits of 1934, when statistics began to be kept for the first time. Stability can be maintained up to the level of 2.1 children per woman, but we have reached 1.2 births per woman. This is an alarm, it means that more people are born than die.
The policy must take urgent measures to demotivate emigration. To create conditions so that young people do not flee the country, as we see that a large part of children are being born abroad. Young couples should be supported with loans, with housing, women should be supported, they were guaranteed a job, just to give birth to as many children as possible. The alarm bell has rung and the demographic stone has gone downhill, so others are making scary forecasts that in 2060 we will be 1.5 million Albanians in the country. So that we don't end up in these demographic catastrophes, it would be good to take measures today, before it's too late", says sociologist Gëzim Tushi for "TCH".
