Experiencing life and the process of ending it
In a world where staying informed about current events and social developments is more important than ever, the IT NRW newsletter stands as a reliable source for residents and visitors of Neuss, Germany. This free-to-subscribe newsletter, published by IT NRW, offers a wealth of information on a variety of topics, from local art and culture to social trends and demographics.
One of the key areas of focus for the newsletter is the birth rate in Neuss and the surrounding regions. According to the latest data, the number of births in North Rhine-Westphalia, of which Neuss is a part, has been on a steady decline since 2018. However, there was a slight increase from 2020 to 2021, with a 3.1% rise recorded.
The largest decreases in births were observed in Cologne (-11.6%), the districts of Viersen (-10.7%) and Euskirchen (-10.6%). Interestingly, the district of Herne bucked this trend, experiencing a 4.4% increase in births.
The newsletter also provides insights into the national demographic landscape, highlighting the post-WWII baby boom and subsequent declines in birth rates in the late 20th century, fluctuations due to economic conditions, migration, and social policies, and the generally low fertility rates in recent decades, often below replacement level.
However, the newsletter acknowledges that immigration and changing family policies have contributed to some recovery or stabilization in birth rates. In fact, without immigration, North Rhine-Westphalia would be at risk of extinction due to the declining birth rate.
The newsletter's content is primarily focused on Neuss, with articles and photos showcasing local events, businesses, and people. Subscribers can find more information about the newsletter's privacy policy and are advised to check their inbox or spam folder to confirm their subscription.
