In France, the working-age population percentage showed a steady decline from 65.8% in 1990 to 61.1% in 2022. The early 2000s marked a relatively stable phase at around 65%, but the aging population and lower birth rates contributed to a sharper drop from 2010 onwards. This trend reflects France’s demographic shift toward an older population structure, a common trend in many European countries facing similar socio-economic factors that influence population composition.
