The low birth rate and, by extension, the demographic problem that is also reflected through the negative balance between births and deaths, is recorded in the data of the registry deeds in Magnesia for the first eight months of 2022.
A matter of survival the demographic emerges for Greece, with an indicative example Magnesia, where for every five people who die, only one is born. The low birth rate and, by extension, the demographic problem that is also reflected through the negative balance between births and deaths, is recorded in the data of the registry deeds in Magnesia for the first eight months
of 2022.
The problem of the low birth rate that is of great concern to the schools of the prefecture, which saw their student potential this year to decrease by 1,191 children, continues to plague the local community for another year, the newspaper Thachydromos reports in its report.
According to the data of the registries made public through the page of the Ministry of the Interior, in the first eight months of 2022 only 452 children were born. These are children who were born in Volos and registered in the registries of Magnesia. It is estimated that a significant number of children in the prefecture were born in private clinics or hospitals in neighboring Larissa.
However, again the number of births falls significantly short of the number of deaths, which is almost five times greater. Based on the same data, from January to last August, a total of 1,902 people died. The death toll is high. With the exception of last year, in 2021 when a black death record was recorded with the loss of 3,058 people, in 2020 there were 2,620 deaths recorded throughout the year and in 2019 the number of deaths reached 2,344.
The statistics of registry deeds reflect what is also recorded in the population censuses. Permanent population decline in Magnesia, due to the negative balance between births and deaths.
Weddings are at their zenith
Unlike births, marriages are at their zenith after the pandemic forced many couples to postpone their union due to the restrictive measures that were in place.
So far, 655 marriages and an additional 117 civil partnerships have been registered in the Magnesia registry offices.
Last year, the first year with “relaxed measures”, they were done over 850 weddings.
Of course, the number of marriages is not close to the three-digit numbers before the pandemic: at 1,005 in 2019, at 1,037 in 2018, at 1,106 in 2017 and at 1,082 in 2016.
