And put society, women and men, in the condition of being able to have children. "POPE 2- "It is urgent to offer young people guarantees of a sufficiently stable job, security for the home, attractive for not leaving the country. It is a task that also concerns the world of the economy: how nice it would be to see the number of entrepreneurs grow and companies that, in addition to producing profits, promote lives, that are careful not to exploit people with unsustainable conditions and schedules, that even distribute part of the income to workers, with a view to contributing to an invaluable development, that of the families ".3- "I also think, sadly, of women who get discouraged at work by having children who have to hide their tummies."4- "How is it possible for a woman to be ashamed of the most beautiful gift that life can offer? Not the woman, but society must be ashamed, because a society that does not embrace life stops living. (PAUSE) Children they are the hope that makes a people reborn. Finally in Italy it has been decided to transform a check, defined as unique and universal, into law, for each child that is born ".5- "Italy has been for years with the lowest number of births in Europe, in what is considered to become the old continent not because of its glorious history, but because of its advanced age.

"6- "The dramatic numbers of births and the frightening of the pandemic demand a change and a responsibility."7- "How many families in recent months have had to work overtime, dividing the house between work and school, with parents who have been teachers, computer technicians, workers, psychologists! The sacrifices required of grandparents, true lifeboats for families. "
