To explain the difficulties encountered by many people seeking to have a child, the report puts forward a fairly predictable explanation: the gradual decline in the age at which the French try to start a family. It is notably explained that today, “women give birth to their first child on average 5 years later than four decades ago (28.8 years in 2019, 24 years in 1974)”and “since the mid-1970s, the age of parenthood has continued to decline, even more so among women with the most higher education qualifications”.
The risk of infertility was documented by a study carried out by INED, telling us that it concerns “approximately one in four couples aged 30” et “comes to one in three couples aged 35 (34%)”. At age 40, this risk concerns “more than one in two couples (56%)”.
Other elements are put forward as being able to alter fertility. First of all, endocrine disruptors, but also air pollution and pesticides. To this, we must add a series of factors which appear to be more linked to our lifestyles: experts mention obesity (or thinness), metabolic disorders, as well as tobacco, alcohol or cannabis. .
