Statistics today show that France will overtake Germany as the most economically powerful EU State by 2035. This is due to the current babyboom that France is having, each woman averaging two children. This may be due to the government policies of childcare and the number of childcare facilities that exist, in comparison with those of Germany. It is hard for a woman to balance work and children, so it is often a choice between the two. In France, childcare facilities are cheaper and there are many of them. This makes it easier for the French women to have children, especially those who have full time jobs. This is a primary reason that France is on the rise of a babyboom. It is a great example of how helping the economy and making these changes now, really effects the future and boosts the economy for the children of this babyboom generation.
