INSEE has studied the fertility rate of immigrants and non-immigrants in France. The fertility rate of the non-immigrant population is 0.1 below the fertility rate of the entire population. In other words, in Metropolitan France (the European part of France), where the fertility rate was 1.98 in 2013, the non-immigrant population had a fertility rate of approximately 1.88.
There is virtually no difference between the fertility rate of the women with French ancestry and the women with immigrant ancestry born in France. So the fertility rate of the women with French ancestry was approximately 1.88 in 2013.
In comparison, the fertility rate of the non-Hispanic White women in the US was 1.75 in 2013.
