Are the Italians Going to Die Out?

I think about five year olds in italy, i thinink theye'll be about a third of their peak level before very long. And there are lots of ethnicities and nationalities in the past that, for one reason or other, died out. I mean, we don't talk about the medes any more,. so we shouldn't be surprised if in 500 years time they're not talking about the italians or the koreans. Collectively, if an individual wants descendants, he or she must have children. So if a community, or a ethni or a national group wishes to persist, it must has children.
