I highly doubt that the birthrate in Italy is 1.14

The government and the media doesn't stop yapping about how it's declining and we are going extinct.

This happens of course for economical reasons, and the government comes up with the most half assed "solutions" to ever cross human mind. Like "reduce VAT taxes on diapers and powder milk" like that is gonna make any difference.

It happens because women have more choice over when and how many children to have.

That’s why you see it still falling in countries that have good economic and social safety nets.
