France plans to send letters to all 29-year-olds in the country encouraging them to think about having children before it is "too late", as part of efforts to address the country's falling birth rate, according to The Independent.
Hundreds of thousands of people will receive the letter, which the health ministry says will provide "targeted, balanced and scientifically based information" on sexual and reproductive health. The aim is to help young adults avoid future regret linked to fertility issues, as per the news report.
The move is part of a 16-point government plan focused on infertility, which officials say affects one in eight couples in France. A government-commissioned report in 2022 estimated that infertility impacts around 3.3 million people nationwide.
The letter is being sent to people aged 29 because women in France are allowed to freeze their eggs at that age without a medical certificate. It will also remind women that social security covers the cost of egg freezing between the ages of 29 and 37.
The communication will address fertility for both women and men, noting that while biological clocks differ, men also experience age-related fertility decline.
Health minister Stephanie Rist said the government's role was not to pressure people into having children, but to improve awareness and access to fertility-related options.

France will send fertility letters to 29-year-olds to boost their "demographic rearmament"
They do need to get busy…
…sending refugees home.
Honestly? It’s probably too late for France and the UK.
These tax and debt slavers need to keep their investments going. Other than tax and debt slavers, who would want to prevent a population adjustment downwards?

Logan’s Run
God will not be mocked.
Why are birth rates falling all over the World? My theory: Social security. It use to be that having children was the natural way of providing for your own future of old age . In Africa where governments are totally corrupt and worse than worthless people are still having lots of babies . Why? Because they know their country cannot provide for them.
The Jab, which was heavily pushed there I believe, has had a serious negative effect on the fertility of women of childbearing age. And the reduced fertility is permanent.
They pretty much screwed the pooch
“Those that reproduce will inherit the earth.”
“Be fruitful & multiply.”
Over the next 100 years, between liberals & conservatives, who has the numbers?
Answer: The modern liberal is toast unless the education sector and public & private corporate bureaucracies continue the same policies that have been in vogue the last 30 to 50 years.(They won’t continue.)
By the end of the decade , the current 50/50 split nationally isn’t going to hold.
A non liberal voter will emerge to repair the damage done to our country.
Even in highly religious Gulf States, fertility falls below replacement because wealth, state benefits, and urban lifestyles reduce the need for many children, just like in secular, wealthy countries.In Africa and Afghanistan, the government is too dysfunctional to provide social security for their citizens.
There are plenty of simp cucks around to get sperm from.
Even if Conservatives have more children than Liberals, it's not going to make a difference because they're get indoctrinated.
I think Mr. Nateman is absolutely right.
