How has France responded to the issue of an ageing population?
France has a birth rate per 1000 of 12.3. This is well below the global average of 19.95 per 1000 which could ultimately put a strain on the dependency ratio
In view of this, the French government has introduced various pro Natal policies.
This includes:
- Three years of paid parental leave
- Free full time schooling at age 3
- Subsidised day care for the children under 3
- Better pension provision the more children a woman has
In 2000, birth rate increased to 12.6%
