Couldn't agree more with all of this Laetitia. (Except China used to be a more gender equal country than a lot of places... Mao had women holding up half the sky, remember?) But it does seem tragically comic that all these men in power around the world can't figure out women enough to understand what they need to have the babies the majority of them say they want. And that they can natalist-policy all they want, but women are getting pretty good at voting with their wombs. Everywhere.
Here's a related piece I wrote in FORBES called The Cost of Underestimating Women: No Babies
Even if Macron discovers the issue today, the decrease starts ten years ago. I will also bet on the consequence of an internal war against middle class and poors. Macron went a step further than the former presidents
