Yes. That's due both because Parisians have a high birth rate and because France (and therefore Paris) welcomes very few immigrants, contrary to other European countries. The former is of course a good thing (with a low birth rate, the % of the working-age population would be mechanically higher, as in Berlin, but it wouldn't be something to rejoice about) , but the latter is a bad thing (a city can't prosper in the long term with a negative net migration, however high its birth rate may be).
