In 2023, only 678,000 babies were born in France. In this edition of French Connections, we delve into the complex web of reasons for this dip in France’s birth rate. We discuss pushback against President Emmanuel Macron’s plan to fix a « infertility scourge » and demographically « rearm » the nation with babies. We also find out how France remains a big baby maker compared to other large European countries, and how its bioethic laws could help.
