A memo you can forward: why fertility matters, how this country compares with its neighbors, and how many working-age people versus retirees the pyramid already implies. Tick sections, park each chart next to the paragraph it belongs with, then generate — or start from blank headings and write it yourself. After that, every heading and paragraph is editable, and Expand / Tighten / Ask AI can rewrite one section at a time.
France’s relatively high European TFR still sits below replacement; family policy is the political story, not a return to 2.1.
AI prose uses the same OpenAI key as Cohort — add billing credits at platform.openai.com if generate or Expand fails. Limited to a few memos per hour. You can always type over the text.
This briefing will cover
INSEE period TFR has been among the highest in Western Europe for decades, yet remains under replacement.
Immigrant vs native-born fertility gaps exist in research literature; cite INSEE/Eurostat carefully and do not invent a religion TFR.
Pension age and dependency are the fiscal exhibit; births are the lagging input.
Working-age counts are modeled from today’s pyramid. 2040 taxpayers are mostly already born; TFR shows up around 2060.
