- The author of the article examines some of the issues concerning the ethical and pastoral challenges arising from demographic changes. In face of these changes the Church adopts, through the Pontifical Council for the Family, a clear and considered stance. Demographic problems have at their roots the whole issue of ethics, and as such have a serious impact on the wide array of social and political matters, like education, job markets, economy and culture. Falling birth rates are of concern in almost every European country and society. The biggest threat is that of fertility rates falling below replacement level. Hence the urgency of putting in place effective pro-family policies. Since demographics is inextricably linked to ethics, it is only natural that the Church perceives it as her field of pastoral engagement. The Church not only postulates the need for a dialogue encompassing all strata of society, but she brings to that dialogue very concrete proposals concerning pro-family activities, like fostering development of the families, advocating the right of parents to bring up their children, or aiding families in material needs. Joint efforts of the Church and other competent institutions, especially those which are in a position to exercise effective influence on cultural changes and economic situation of families, may bring about defeat of today’s threats.
