The population pyramids of France from 1990 to 2050 show that the elderly population (people above the age of 65) have been, and still are increasing. Furthermore, the significant population difference between people aged 40 years, and people aged 45 years in 1960 shows that the Baby Boom (around the 1950's) had a big impact on France's population. This in turn creates population momentum and thus will significantly increase the elderly population starting around 2020. There can further be deduced that the CBR (Crude Birth Rate) is slowly falling in France, despite the fact that France is a Pro-natalist country. This can be seen from the new generations of people being smaller and smaller (in number) each year.
