In our researchers’ own words

Medically assisted human reproduction: Progress toward greater reproductive justice?

Medically assisted human reproduction accounts for nearly 4% of births in France. Despite a 2021 bill making these procedures accessible to a greater number, inequalities persist for single women and lesbian couples.

Anne Solaz

Fertility has been falling in France for ten years now, and demographers have been investigating the reasons. It would seem that people’s desire to have children is itself affected as they confront contexts and constraints that may discourage them from becoming parents or growing their family.

Catalina Torres, Arianna Caporali and Gilles Pison
