In 2007 the birth rate is even lower (and death rate higher) for Italy :
Quote:
Birth rate: 8.54 births/1,000 population (2007 est.)
Death rate: 10.5 deaths/1,000 population (2007 est.)

Strangely, the birth rate is higher in Russia (but the death rate as well) :
Quote:
Birth rate: 10.92 births/1,000 population (2007 est.)
Death rate: 16.04 deaths/1,000 population (2007 est.)
