__**Future Of France:**__
Demographically: Up until 2020 the population will still be increasing even though the CBR is decreasing due to the momentum factor. From 2020 to about 2050 the population will slowly start to decrease. This is because the CBR is still getting lower and there is no momentum factor to increase the population. Using this information, France would currently be in the fourth stage of the demographic transition model, giving them a decrease in future population. Overall the life expectancy for France will increase throughout the future.

Socially: Since the life expectancy of France is increasing, there will be an increase in the elderly population. However, the working population of France will also increase, which gives the government more people to tax, so the elderly population still gets their pensions. There will be a significant increase in the ages of 45 and 50 year olds for France.

Economy :  The economy for France will increase due to the large working population. In 2030 the government will want to increase the CBR so that the economy will not collapse. France will need to make more of an effort to advertise their pro-natalist policy.

 Politically:  The government will have to find a way to increase the CBR and start a stronger campaign for their pro-natalist policy. France could also increase the retirement age, reducing the number of elders, and increasing the working population which would in turn boost the economy.

 Environmentally:  France will have to increase their environmental awareness because right now it is not that strong and with the population on the rise, there will be more carbon emissions and more people harming the environment. France is currently making progress from the 1950’s until now, so if that keeps up, France could be one of the top countries in keeping our world safe.
