Pope Francis on Friday urged Italians to have more children amid country's declining birth rates and ageing population. "Homes are filled with objects...There's no shortage of little dogs, cats...There is a lack of children," the Pope said. Italy's birth rate has reportedly been falling steadily for about 15 years. It dropped to a record low of 3,79,000 births last year.
