The Spanish government has created a new ministry to oversee population growth in response to the country's declining birth rate.
Edelmira Barreira has been appointed as the minister responsible for encouraging population growth, amid concerns that the low birth rate is affecting the country's demographics.
According to reports, Spain's death rate surpassed its birth rate in 2015, a situation that has not occurred outside of wartime. Experts attribute this trend to factors such as long working hours and late-night lifestyles.
The population decline has raised concerns about the impact on the economy and the ability of younger generations to support the aging population.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy appointed Edelmira Barreira to address these issues and promote population growth.
Photos of Edelmira Barreira are available, showcasing her role as the newly appointed minister.
