Birth rate
2023: Birth rate collapse to minimum since World War II - 678 thousand
In 2023, France experienced a collapse in the birth rate - the lowest level since World War II, which was a blow to the country's traditionally high demographic profile. 678 thousand newborns were born, which is 7% lower than the level of 2022 and 20% lower than the peak[1].
For decades, the country has been an outlier compared to other European states, avoiding the birth collapse seen in Germany, Italy and Spain.
