Greece tackles "existential" population crisis with €20 billion plan to boost birth rates.

Greece faces an "existential" population crisis, with declining birth rates, economic hardship, and mass emigration creating hundreds of abandoned villages. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis warns that the country's fertility rate of 1.3 births per woman, one of the lowest in Europe, leaves not enough young workers to support the economy or the elderly.
