France had more deaths than births in 2025, its first such year since WWII, due to declining births and rising deaths, though population grew slightly due to immigration.
In 2025, France recorded more deaths than births for the first time since World War II, with 651,000 deaths exceeding 645,000 births, resulting in a natural population decline of 6,000, according to INSEE.
Births fell 2.1% year-on-year, marking the fourth straight year of record lows, while deaths rose 1.5%, partly due to a severe winter flu epidemic.
Despite the negative natural balance, France’s population grew to 69.1 million by January 1, 2026, driven by net migration of about 176,000.
Life expectancy reached 85.9 years for women and 80.3 for men.
