title: [The aging of the French population is inevitable].
abstract: Probable population trends in France up to the year 2000 are explored.  "Between now and the year 2000, the French population will grow by three or four million.  There will be 12 million persons over the age of 60, as compared to 10 million today.  The working population will be more numerous, but older.  Only the number of young people is difficult to estimate, because of the uncertainty concerning the birth rate."  The demographic consequences of alternative fertility trends are discussed.
