ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Demographics of Italy

Okay kiddo, let's learn about the demographics of Italy, which means we'll talk about the people that live there.

Italy is a country in Europe, and it has about 60 million people living there. Like every group of people, Italians are not all the same. They can have different skin colors, speak different languages, and follow different religions.

One thing that is interesting is that Italians have an aging population. This means that there are more older people than young people. It's like when you have more grandparents than babies in your family. This happens because Italian women are having fewer babies than before, and people are living longer because of better healthcare.

Another thing that is important to know is that the majority of Italians are Catholic, which is a type of religion. This means that they believe in God and follow certain rules and traditions. But there are also people in Italy who follow other religions or are not religious at all.

Italy is also famous for its food, which is delicious! Italians love to eat pasta, pizza, bread, and cheese, among many other things.

Overall, Italy is a country with a diverse population, delicious food, and an aging population.
