"new guidance on income requirements for French citizenship must not unfairly penalise retirees or children who grew up here"
New guidance on income requirements for French citizenship must not unfairly penalise retirees or children who grew up in France. Decisions should be based on applicants' whole life stories. Income thresholds that do not account for lifetime residence, retirement income levels, or long-term integration risk excluding long-standing residents from citizenship. Policymakers should ensure criteria recognize age, upbringing within France, and broader contributions beyond present earnings. Assessment processes should incorporate contextual information about applicants' family ties, residency history, and social integration to prevent disproportionate impacts on vulnerable or established members of the community.
