France has a population of about 68 million and maintains one of the higher birth rates in Europe, partly due to generous family support policies including childcare subsidies and parental leave.
GDP per capita is approximately $42,000-45,000. France has a comprehensive social welfare system that provides universal healthcare, public education through university, and extensive pension benefits.
France has a relatively high household savings rate (around 15%), and unlike many other developed nations, has maintained a strong social safety net that keeps income inequality moderate by international standards.
