Chart Details
Timeframe: 1990-2022
Country: France
Published date: 2024
Note: The fertility rate, as defined by World Development Indicators, measures the average number of children born to a woman over her lifetime, usually expressed as births per woman.
Key Takeaways
France's fertility rate remained relatively stable, starting at 1.8 in 1990 and experiencing a slight rise to 2.0 by the mid-2000s. The rise correlates with strong family support policies, including parental leave and childcare subsidies, which encouraged higher birth rates.

After 2016, the rate dipped back to 1.8 by 2020 and remained steady through 2022. Economic uncertainties and shifts in family dynamics likely contributed to this stabilization, although France's fertility rate remains among the highest in Europe due to its supportive social framework.
