France Sees More Deaths Than Births

France Sees More Deaths Than Births

France had more people dying than being born in 2025, which hasn't happened since World War Two.

This is because people are having fewer babies and living longer.

Even though more people are dying, France's population is still growing a little because more people are moving to France from other countries.

The country's population is getting older, with more people over 65 than under 20.

This could cause problems for the economy and public spending in the future.
