The average number of children per woman has dropped to 1.12, and the number of marriages also declined by 3.7% compared to 2022. At the same time, the number of abortions has increased significantly. In 2023, over 103,000 abortions were performed—nearly 5,000 more than the previous year.
According to De la Serna, factors contributing to these declining trends include job market instability, rising tax burdens on the middle class, stigmatization of parenthood, and other economic, social, and cultural issues that have pushed Spanish families into a vicious cycle.
For years, Spanish society was reassured that immigration would compensate for the declining native population. However, it has since become evident that this assumption is flawed and carries negative consequences.
National unity and social cohesion have weakened, while the economic burden of illegal immigration is placing increasing strain on already underfunded public services,
the expert said. De la Serna stressed that the time has come for Spain and other nations in a similar situation to seek alternative solutions. Instead of promoting immigration, he argued, these countries should follow Hungary’s lead and focus on supporting their own nation's families.
