The current trend in France is only temporary anyway.

The French government has been pretty effective in supporting couples that would make babies.
They are subsidized and that kind of policies was proven efficient in sustaining birth rate.
It's actually pretty smart, or at least convenient to young couples.

Moreover, there's no cultural problem with young women both working and raising todlers over here.
We have lots of nurseries to help them keep their jobs and be independent. That may not be the case in Germany.

You hear some young women state that they want to remain childless for whatever reason, like so-called eco-anxiety for instance.
It's often the same. Lots of people claim they don't want kids when they're 20, then they change their minds and have a couple of kids when they're 30.

Nothing much new under the sun. However, Covid did affect the trend in that matter. It is obvious. The current related stats show it.
