Secondly, why is the population of Paris increasing?
An ever-growing city, boosted by a significant birth rate
In the Greater Paris Region, as in Greater London, the natural balance is driving demographic change: the number of births is significantly higher than the number of deaths and the natural surplus stands at around 110,000 people per year.
What did France do to increase population?
In the first two postwar decades, immigration contributed about 40 percent to the growth of the French population. Although immigration flattened out after 1974, natural increase dropped, so that immigration continued to contribute significantly to population growth.
