Abstract
The present population policy in France is examined from the perspective of its historical evolution. Certain factors unique to France's development, including a diminution in family size that occurred earlier than in other European countries, served to make urgent a dramatic reorientation of policy toward increased natality, especially in light of the pressures brought to bear by the First and Second World Wars. The consequences of the increased rate of postwar population growth for such areas as unemployment, immigration, and material, environmental, and human resources, has redirected the climate of opinion away from further population growth. Some current trends and prospects of population policy in France are discussed.
