France is renowned for its successful response to the declining birthrate. Although the country's total fertility rate has declined somewhat in recent years, it remains relatively high. This study aims to examine population changes in France, which has actively addressed population issues and implemented a range of policies over many years, and to provide a foundation for establishing population policies in Korea.
France has had a population policy since the 1930s and has consistently encouraged births. For population policies to be effective, they must be implemented in a gradual and consistent manner with a long-term perspective.
