Question 16015 — family

Summary

Mr. Jean-Carles Grelier draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the continued decline in the number of births in France. Indeed, according to the latest edition of the demographic report from the National Institute of Statistics (Insee) the rate of births weakened in 2018, like the three previous years. In 2018, 758,000 babies were born, 12,000 fewer than in 2017 and 60,000 fewer than in 2014. The drop in births is therefore established over time and the total fertility indicator now stands at 1.87 children per woman (compared to 1.90 in 2017). Thus, the threshold allowing the renewal of generations - a birth rate of 2.1 children - is gradually moving away. According to the National Union of Family Associations, this trend is only a reflection of public policies that are increasingly unfavorable, over the years, to families with children. If the France remains the most fertile country in the European Union, these figures raise questions about the family policy to be followed to find a more dynamic number of births. He therefore asks her to kindly inform him of her intentions on this subject.
