Question 15152 — ministries and secretariats of state

Summary

Ms. Mathilde Paris draws the attention of the Prime Minister to the issue of the theme of family in ministerial portfolios. Since 1968, France has had secretaries of state or delegated ministers in charge of family affairs, except today, with the Attal Government where no minister or secretary of state is in charge of the family due to the abolition of the post of minister of solidarity and families after a few months of existence. While the latest birth rate figures are alarming and the President of the Republic has asked the Government to take emergency measures, the MP deplores the absence of a clear and precise portfolio dedicated to the family among the government team. According to INSEE's 2023 demographic report, the fertility rate is less than 1.70 children per woman, well below the rate of generational renewal set at 2.1 children per woman and while, according to studies, the desire for children is 2.39 children per woman. French women want to have children but give it up in the face of unfavorable economic conditions. The absence of family in the titles of ministries and state secretariats reveals the lack of interest, if not the indifference, of the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister towards families. and reflects a political choice inconsistent with the concern displayed about the birth rate and the calls for “demographic rearmament”. In view of all these elements, she asks him to think about the return of the central theme of the family and family affairs in ministerial portfolios and to put in place a real strategy for demography, essential measures to build an ambitious and family policy. meet the challenge of the birth rate, as he prepares to complete the Government in the coming days.
