At a time when France is experiencing a spectacular demographic decline, an overwhelming majority of French citizens are not in favor of using immigration as a lever to boost the birth rate, recent polling showed.

According to a CSA survey conducted for CNews, Europe 1, and Le Journal du Dimanche, 69 percent of respondents rejected using replacement through immigration as a means of injecting fresh blood into the French economy.

Upon further analysis, women (71 percent) were slightly more opposed to mass immigration than men (67 percent), and while every age group rejected the idea, elderly respondents were more firmly opposed.

A total of 56 percent of 18-24-year-olds were against using immigration to counter the declining birth rate, while 74 percent of those aged 35-49 and 70 percent of over-65s were opposed to it.

In a socio-economic breakdown, 65 percent of the most highly educated respondents were opposed, compared to 76 percent of those less qualified academically.

Supporters of Jordan Bardella’s National Rally were the most opposed at 94 percent, closely followed by voters of Éric Zemmour’s conservative Reconquest party at 92 percent.

For the Republicans, this opposition is slightly less pronounced but remains in the majority at 84 percent. On the Renaissance side, 62 percent of those polled were also against.

Conversely, on the left of the political spectrum, supporters of all parties are in favor of the proposal. Supporters of La France Insoumise (56 percent), the Greens (58 percent), and the Socialist Party (60 percent) are in favor of using immigration as a solution to the country’s demographic decline.

The number of births in France has not been at such a low level since the end of World War II. According to Insee data, the year 2023 saw just 678,000 babies born, a 6.6 percent drop from the previous year.

Faced with this demographic challenge, some politicians are proposing more immigration to counter the population decline.

Women are more opposed because we’re in more danger of being culturally enriched.

France does not collect ethnic statistics. All French are counted as the same, so who knows what ethnicity non-foreign criminals are.

Must be all those Anglo American foreign exchange students.

Interesting. So Frog women are slightly more based than the Frog men.

Which way, Gaul woman?

A reminder: the current French goverment is a replacement for the goverment that has stepped down weeks ago. They have taken a turn to the more national side (I don't call it right wing) in terms of migration seeing migration not as the solution to combat the declining birth rate. It is probably an attempt to lessen Le Pens Front National as they have introduced new laws in terms of immigration and dewportation. Let's actually see how this ends though I suspect badly as long as Macron is in power.

Looks like Europe as a whole could learn from the old Kingdom of Spain.
