This new issue has forced itself into manufacturing organisations\u2019 strategic thinking and is a factor that any prudent production philosophy must take into account.<\/p>\n<p>Demographer Francesco Billari has written a slim volume (just over a hundred pages) on the subject, which serves as a starting point to grasp what is at play. The author begins with an observation. The \u201c<strong>demographic winter<\/strong>\u201d and the \u201cbrain drain\u201d are terms used so frequently that even the most optimistic now seem resigned to the phenomena: in a few decades, <strong>Italy<\/strong> will be a country where over-65s account for around one third of a declining population. Billari, however, explains how <strong>demography is not pre-destined<\/strong>, but rather a science that helps us not only to interpret the great changes taking place in the world, but above all to take <strong>action<\/strong> to control them. This provides the foundation for the argument he develops over the course of the book.<\/p>\n<p>Billari helps the reader observe <strong>possible future scenarios<\/strong> through a demographic lens, an approach that is suitable for understanding how today&#8217;s decisions \u2013 in politics, the economy and society \u2013 can <strong>influence the future <\/strong>of Italy and its social and manufacturing backbone. The book also provides a glimpse of what is happening in other countries, particularly those with <strong>low fertility<\/strong> rates and an ageing population.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, the author\u2019s perspective on the country and its future is filtered through his science, as he shares policies and proposals for reversing the crisis on several fronts: genuinely inclusive schooling, a welfare system that is more focused on the needs of families, housing policy that helps the youngest and better management (and integration) of migration.<\/p>\n<p>Viewed in more detail, Billari&#8217;s diagnosis \u2013 based on a large body of data \u2013 shows that structural change, that is, genuine reforms, are urgently needed in at least three areas: schooling; housing autonomy for university students and young people in general; immigration, and integration into the country of first and second generations. In other fields too a major change of direction is required: the birth rate and family, universities, the labour market, digitalisation and adult education, health and climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Because, as Billari concludes, demographic trends \u201care not inescapable\u201d.<\/p><p><strong>Domani \u00e8 oggi. <\/strong><strong>Costruire il futuro con le lenti della demografia (Tomorrow is Today.
