France has implemented pro-natalist policies for decades to encourage larger families and increase its declining birth rate. Currently, 17% of France's population is over 65, leaving only 64% of working age to support dependents such as the young and elderly. To address this, France offers incentives like tax breaks for larger families, monthly child allowances, and reduced transportation costs. These policies have been successful so far, with France's population projected to grow to 75 million by 2050 from 62 million currently. However, France's birth rate remains below the replacement level of 2.1, so it remains uncertain if these costly policies can be sustained long-term to achieve the projected population growth.
