The Issue: A decreasing proportion of younger people increases the share of elderly dependents relative to the working-age population, lowering the government’s tax revenues and raising spending obligations. The U.S. federal government debt has reached levels not seen since the aftermath of World War II, and is projected to continue rising over the next three decades on an unsustainable path. How have past fertility trends contributed to the government’s spending and revenue and high federal debt? And what might the recent transition to below-replacement fertility mean for the future fiscal outlook? The Facts: The total fertility rate rose sharply during the Baby Boom, then declined through the 1970s and held steady for several decades around the 2.1 level that is needed for populations to replace themselves. Birth rates began a sustained decline in 2007, reaching an estimated record low of 1.57 in 2025.  Fertility rates affect the ratio of dependents, children and the elderly, relative to workers. A growing imbalance between spending on dependents and revenues leads to rising federal deficits.   The dramatic swings in fertility in the mid-twentieth century have led to rapidly rising old-age dependency ratios and a rise in spending on old-age entitlement programs, from 2.5% to 9% of GDP since the 1960s. If spending on these programs had remained at their 2000 level as a share of GDP, the difference between government revenues and spending (excluding interest payments on government debt) would have been about 0.8 percent of GDP compared to its actual value of 3.3 percent of GDP in 2023. Old-age dependency ratios are expected to continue rising over the next three decades driving ever higher levels of government debt. If, instead, the old-age dependency ratio remained at its 2025 level and current tax and spending plans remained in place, we estimate that the government would have a primary budget surplus around 2040.  If fertility rates were to suddenly return to replacement, the budget outlook over the next 30 years would worsen, not improve. A child born today will not join the workforce and pay taxes for about 20 years. Accordingly, higher fertility rates do not do much, mechanically, to lower old-age dependency ratios. Furthermore, a rise in fertility rates would lead to a rise in child dependency ratios, raising federal spending on children over the next thirty years.

In the wake of the US blockade on Iranian ports, France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has called for freedom of navigation in international waters to be respected. He spoke to RFI about France's proposal for a peaceful, multinational mission to secure navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the necessity of a ceasefire in Lebanon, as well as developments in Hungary and Sudan.

France and the UK will co-host a video conference Friday of countries ready to contribute to a "purely defensive mission" to secure the Strait of Hormuz, the French president's office said.
