Un enfant de plus, un rêve qui devient trop coûteux pour les Français

In brief

A study by the National Union of Family Associations (Unaf) shows that a lack of financial resources is preventing many French people from having more children.

The research highlights that the cost of raising children acts as a significant barrier to those who wish to expand their families, with this financial pressure being especially high among young people. These findings come as the French government reviews the 2027 budget, which may impact family purchasing power and national demographics.
