demographics of France
Let an agent explain the demographics of France, relay population trends, fertility, migration and regional variation from INSEE and academic sources with figures attributed and checked against current data, describe the regional topics, and distinguish national demographics from regional demographics, immigration policy and demographics of other countries.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the demographics of France, relay population trends, fertility, migration and regional variation from INSEE and academic sources with figures attributed and checked against current data, describe the regional topics, and distinguish national demographics from regional demographics, immigration policy and demographics of other countries.
The statistical study of the human population of France, its size, age structure, births, deaths, migration, fertility and distribution, produced mainly by INSEE, showing a population over 68 million, one of the higher fertility rates in Europe though below replacement, an ageing structure and significant immigration history; registry aliases name regional demographics such as those of Ile-de-France, Rhone-Alpes, Alsace and departments and cities such as Lille and Maine-et-Loire, which are sub-national topics. French law restricts collecting official statistics on ethnicity and religion, which shapes what data exist, and figures should be checked against current INSEE releases, with debates on immigration and integration attributed.
What it is for: Describing and measuring the French population.
It can be relay population trends with attribution; explain fertility and migration; describe regional topics; present debates with attribution.
Distinguishing features
Relatively high European fertility
Ageing population
Long immigration history
Restrictions on ethnic statistics
What it looks like
Not a physical object; population pyramids, tables and maps.
