Question 16208 — family

Summary

Mr. Christian Girard alerts the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty on the impact of the social and fiscal measures of the 2026 budget on large families. A recent analysis by the Institute of Public Policies, relayed by the economic press, highlights that families with three or more children are among the first victims of the measures adopted this year. If the impact average on the standard of living of households appears generally neutral, this average masks strong disparities depending on family composition. Couples with at least three children would thus see their standard of living decrease by an average of 0.4%, while the drop would reach 1.3% for single-parent families with at least three children. This situation would mainly result from the shift in the age of increase in benefits family benefits, previously paid from the child's fourteenth birthday and now reserved for children over the age of eighteen. This reform, expected to gradually increase, would ultimately represent a return of around one billion euros, as many fewer resources for the families concerned. It would weigh even more heavily on low-income households and single mothers, for whom the allowances family income constitutes a significant portion of disposable income. In a context of a worrying decline in the birth rate, an increase in the cost of living and a weakening of purchasing power, these measures call into question the coherence of the Government's family policy. They risk penalizing families who already assume significant costs linked to the education, housing, food and schooling of several children. He him therefore asks whether the Government intends to reassess the impact of these measures on large families, in particular single-parent families and low-income households, and what compensation or corrections it is considering in order to preserve their standard of living and guarantee a family policy that is fair, understandable and favorable to the birth rate.
