flag France urges 29-year-olds to consider parenting or egg freezing to combat low birth rates.

flag France is sending letters to all 29-year-olds urging them to consider having children or freezing their eggs, part of a broader effort to address declining birth rates and rising infertility. flag The initiative, led by the health ministry, provides reproductive health information and expands access to fertility preservation services, including coverage for egg freezing until age 37. flag While officials stress the campaign is educational, not coercive, critics question its effectiveness, citing economic pressures, inadequate parental leave, and concerns about state overreach. flag The move reflects ongoing debates over demographic policy, with some arguing for immigration and support systems over pro-natalist messaging.
