Percentage-wise, the population growth rate is approximately 0.5% per year, slightly less than half the world average of about 1.15% It is, however, quite high when compared to other comparable nations. One thing to note in regards to French growth is that France has a low Immigration rate for such a developed country, and that most of the population groth comes from "natural increase" (as opposed to from immigration). France's fertility rate (the average amount of children produced per woman) is higher than any developed country other than the United States. Its rate of about 1.98 is a bit below the replacement rate of about 2.1, but much higher than most other EU countries, which average around 1.5. This means that, if fertility rate and immigration stay at the same rate, France should have steady if fairly low population growth for the immediate future. This is in opposition to many (especially southern and eastern) European countries which are either shrinking (most of eastern Europe) or would be if not for high rates of immigration (Italy and Greece). I hope this answers your question
