[French demography in the last 30 years].

From 1964 to 1994, French population has gained nearly 10 million, up to 57.8 million. Infant mortality, adult mortality, fertility, nuptiality, immigration from abroad and internal migration have undergone drastic change. Noteworthy is the rising life expectancy at birth and, more importantly, the growing life expectancy of the elderly. French population is aging. The "under 20" who were 33.7 percent in 1964 are today only 26.4 percent.
