Ay “ One ad pictured a woman holding an hourglass next to the words: “Beauty has no age limit. Fertility does.” Another portrayed a pair of baby shoes wrapped in a ribbon of the Italian flag. Yet another showed a man holding a half-burned cigarette: “Don’t let your sperm go up in smoke,” it read. They were part of a government effort to promote “Fertility Day” on Sept. 22, a campaign intended to encourage Italians to have more babies. Instead, the ads set off a furore, were denounced as being offensive, and within days were withdrawn, What they did succeed in doing, however, was to ignite a deeper and lasting debate about why itis that Italy has one of the lowest birthrates in the world, and what can be done about it.

The Ministry of Health began the fertility campaign on Aug. 31 with a group of online advertisements and a hashtag on Twitter. The goal was to publicize a series of public meetings on Fertility Day and encourage Italians to have more children, Even Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, whose own health minister started the campaign, distanced himself from the ads in a radio interviews Under Mr. Renzi, Italy’s government has ried to help families with aso-called, baby bonus P80 to 160 euros, or about $90 to $1 low- and middle-income house and itis approved labor laws giving more fewblity on parental leave, But Italy alsates only} Percent of its gross domestic produet i Nocial protection benefits — half the’Bttopean Fage.
