The number of deaths outpaced the number of births in France for the first time since the Second World War and ten years before the official French national statistics bureau had projected.
Data published by the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) on Tuesday revealed that there were 651,000 deaths in 2025, an increase of 1.5 per cent over last year. The official statistician attributed this increase to a particularly deadly winter flu at the start of the year.
However, this trend is likely to continue, with 2026 marking the first year in which members of the baby boom generation will have reached the age of 80 in France, the head of the demographic and social studies unit at INSEE, Sylvie Le Minez, said per Le Figaro.
…
Despite the decline, the total population of France continued to rise to 69.1 million people, compared to 68.6 million in 2024. Like other stagnating European nations, the increase in the population of around 500,000 was almost entirely attributable to mass migration.
As of the latest figures released by INSEE, the foreign-born population of France hit a fresh record in 2024 of 7.7 million out of a total 68 million, meaning that over one in ten people in the country were born elsewhere.
