Sergio Mattarella: "The future of the country is measured on the ability to provide answers to the young generations" "It's about implementing the constitutional provision", he adds. "Appropriate housing, fiscal and social policies, conciliation of Work-life balance and equal opportunities are fundamental issues" "The abnormal growth of metropolitan areas with the consequent diseconomies and inconveniences, once based on the concentration of employment and the availability of services, must give way to an integrated approach", says the Head of State.

"The transformations of demography have a strong impact on the territorial structure of theCountry and on the sustainability of inhabited centres, in particular in mountainous, inland and rural areas", adds Mattarella in a message to the Minister for the Family Eugenia Maria Roccella on the occasion of a conference. "For a young Europe: demographic transition, environment, future" is being held in Rome. The conference is being hosted by the European Council of Ministers.
