France sends letters to 29-year-olds telling them to get on with having children
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Hundreds of thousands of young people will receive the letter, which aims to provide targeted, balanced and scientifically based information on sexual and reproductive health to avoid the if only I had known' mentality, the health ministry said. But the measure, which is part of a 16-point plan to tackle France's declining birth rate, has been criticised by those who say it will not have the desired effect. Officials say infertility, the main issue driving the policy, affects one in eight couples in France."
The Independent requests donations to fund reporters covering major issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and refuses to use paywalls so reporting remains freely accessible. The outlet highlights investigations into the financials of political PACs and documentaries about American women fighting for reproductive rights. France will send letters to all 29-year-olds encouraging them to have children or freeze eggs, providing targeted, balanced, scientifically based sexual and reproductive health information. The measure is part of a 16-point plan to address a declining birth rate and has drawn criticism from those doubting its effectiveness. Officials cite infertility affecting one in eight couples in France.
