France Will Send Fertility Letters to 29-Year-Olds to Boost Their “Demographic Rearmament”

Message to French men and women aged 29: your biological clocks do not forgive, and from your age, fertility rates decrease, so it would be advisable for you to consider the option of preserving your eggs and sperm for future use, so you never have to say, “If only I had known…”.

A letter with a more or less similar content will be sent from June to thousands of young French people about to turn thirty, as part of the “demographic rearmament” announced by President Emmanuel Macron and included among the 16 measures of the French Ministry of Health’s plan against infertility.

Although French women’s fertility is above the European average (1.8 compared to 1.5 children per woman), alarms sounded at the end of 2025, the first year since World War II with more deaths than births. A total of 645,000 children were born that year in France, compared to 651,000 deaths recorded, leaving the generational replacement in doubt and exacerbating the population aging problem.

In the last four decades, the age of first pregnancy in France has been delayed by five years. In 2019, the bar was set at 29 years, the age chosen deliberately for sending the pro-fertility letters this summer.

The final message of the letters addressed to young French people has not yet been decided, but sources from the Ministry of Health revealed to Le Figaro that the content will focus on three points. The first will address the choice of having or not having a child, with information on sexual health and contraceptive methods. The second will inform about the biological clock of fertility and the differences between men and women. And lastly, there will be “information on the offer for gamete preservation.”

The Ministry of Health plans to increase from 40 to 70 assisted reproduction centers that facilitate gamete cryopreservation, with the aim of “increasing their activity and reducing waiting times.” The plan also proposes changes in the management, research, and innovation system for treating infertility due to medical causes.
