This country is not for the young

Portugal has the fourth-lowest percentage of children in the EU, with only 9.8% of the population aged 10 or under, compared to 22% in 1975. A study by the University of Coimbra highlights that high housing costs, the cost of living, and a lack of public childcare are driving this decline in birth rates. While immigration currently helps mitigate demographic aging, the country faces long-term socioeconomic instability due to a shrinking workforce and the rising costs of supporting an aging population. The author argues that businesses must play a central role in promoting birth rates by improving work-life balance and that such efforts should be integrated into public policy.
