In 2025, people aged under 15 accounted for 16.3 percent of the total French population, whereas around 11 percent of the population was 75 years and older.Â
By comparison, the number of members of the population over the age of 65 years has increased even more prominently, reaching 14.57 million in 2025. The number of people living in France has been steadily increasing since 1982, exceeding 68 million in 2025, having thus grown by seven percent during that time.
