title: [Feto-infantile births and deaths. Statistical data].
abstract: After a period of stability between 1968 and 1971 the birth-rate was lowered slightly in 1972-1973. The first projections worked out by INSEE lead us to predict that there will be a considerable drop in the number of births in 1974 (800, 000 as against 855,000 in 1973). Perinatal mortality has dropped rapidly since 1969. The rate for France is now better than that for Scotland or the Federal German Republic and is catching up on England. It is however still far behind the rates for the Scandinavian countries and Holland and Belgium.
