In a recent initiative aimed at addressing Greece's severe demographic challenges, the Greek Parliament announced the hiring of a child from a 12-member family as a tangible form of support for large families in the country. This announcement was made by Nikitas Kaklamanis during a forum held at the former tobacco factory in Lenorman Street, which focused on the critical demographic issues facing Greece. Kaklamanis emphasized that the demographic crisis, alongside national independence and territorial integrity, is viewed by the Greek Parliament as a paramount national concern, posing an existential threat to the continuation of the Greek nation.

Kaklamanis highlighted alarming trends in Greece's demographics, noting that the country is experiencing an aging population, a steady decline in birth rates, and a shrinking population. These trends have resulted in entire regions becoming deserted and schools closing due to a lack of children. He warned that these demographic shifts jeopardize not only the social fabric but also the future viability of the country. The aging population and diminishing youth demographic pose significant challenges for the nation’s workforce and economic sustainability.

The ongoing demographic crisis represents an urgent issue for Greece, necessitating immediate solutions and support for larger families. The government's recognition of the importance of this issue indicates that measures will be taken to encourage birth rates and support families facing economic and social pressures. The initiative to hire children from large families is one step in the broader effort to tackle what has been described as a demographic disaster that could lead to national bankruptcy in the future, underlining the critical need for policies that incentivize family growth and community resilience.
