France experienced a significant decline in births, with only 678,000 babies born last year, the lowest number since World War Two. This represents a 7% decrease from 2022 and a 20% drop since the peak in 2020. President Macron has pledged to overhaul the situation, with plans for 'shorter,' 'better paid' parental leave to allow both parents to be with their children for six months.
