Population of France to peak in 2044 before falling
法国人口将在2044年达到峰值，然后下降
The population of France is set to grow slowly but steadily until 2044, when an aging demographic will prompt a decline if current fertility and immigration rates hold, the country’s national statistics office said Monday.
That would see the current population of 67.4 million rise to a peak of 69.3 million before reversing, the INSEE agency said in delivering forecasts for the next 50 years.
法国国家统计局日前发布最新人口预测称，到2044年，法国人口将达到6930万的峰值；然后开始逐渐下滑，在2070年会降至6810万。人口数量虽然增多，但老龄化问题将会加大。由于“婴儿潮”一代的人口老龄化，届时65岁以上的老龄人口将占该国总人口29%，而目前这一比例仅为20%。
