Spain has appointed a ‘sex tsar’ to help boost the country’s “catastrophically low” birth rate .
Young couples have reportedly blamed being “too tired after a full day at work” and “late nights” for
the decrease.So, faced with a rapidly declining population, the Senado de Espana has tasked demographic expert Edelmira Barreira with sorting out the problem.The move comes after the country reported a higher number of deaths than births for the first time in 2015. Statistics revealed Spanish women between 18-49 reportedly had an average of 1.3 children in 2015 — below the European Union’s figure of 1.58.While many European countries are seeing a decline in birth rates, Spain’s figures means it has one of the lowest in the developed world.
