- Employed demographic projections to forecast future trends.
Main Results:
- The working-age population in France is projected to increase by 1.5 million by 2006, driven by demographic factors.
- Future working populations will likely include a higher proportion of women and a lower proportion of young individuals.
- A subsequent decrease in the working population is anticipated after 2006 as post-war generations age, though the effect will be modest until 2015.
Conclusions:
- France's working population is set to undergo significant demographic shifts.
