title: [Migration and uneven aging in the regions of France].
abstract: Regional differences in the rate of demographic aging in France are examined.  The author notes that "contrary to popular belief, of the two factors that contribute to aging, natural trends (births and deaths) still have the edge over the effect of population migrations across regions.  The only exception to this is in the Paris area, due to the influence of Paris itself, where youthfulness caused by migrations is on a more or less equal footing with 'natural' aging.  Conversely, migration contributes the most to the increase in the average age in the western French regions, with the joint effects of young people leaving and the over-60s returning."
