For anyone else wondering why 29-year-olds specifically:
The letter is being sent to 29-year-olds because women are able to have their eggs frozen at that age without a medical certificate. Women will also be reminded that social security in France covers the cost of freezing eggs for women between 29 and 37.
The article also does mention the arguments that short maternity leave, environmental concerns, and negative outlooks on the future in the country deters people from having children.
So not quite as harsh as the “hurry up and reproduce!” message the title implies.


Not the worst outcome, considering the other kinks you could have been dealt.
