As of January 1, 2008, the total population of metropolitan France (mainland + Corsica) and French overseas départements was estimated at 63.8 million. France is the second most populous member of the European Union (EU), after Germany and just ahead of the United Kingdom and Italy. France thus accounts for 13% of the European Union’s population.
Life expectancy remains on a steady uptrend, at 77.5 years for men and 84.4 years for women in 2007. The French population continues to age, and the proportion of the youngest age groups is diminishing despite a significant number of births in the past several years.
