Which may explain this

The French Govt are offering extra benefits for women who have 3+ children.

Quote:
But the government is worried that many middle-class professional women put off child-bearing until their late 20s.

The new financial incentives encourage families to have a third child.

"The family has changed," Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, himself a father of three, told a conference on the family.

"But it remains at the very heart of French society. It is a source of joy, of comfort, and a haven for its members. That is why we are announcing measures to help families in their everyday lives."
