In 2026, France is projected to have a moderately female-skewed sex ratio of 94.10 males per 100 females, indicating that females outnumber males by a notable margin. Based on its overall female-to-male ratio, France ranks 46th among 237 countries and territories worldwide, 18th among 50 European entities, and 10th among members of the European Union. France’s sex ratio is similar to those of Romania, Greece, and Mexico.

France has 32,359,364 (32.36 million) males and 34,387,037 (34.39 million) females in 2026, resulting in a female surplus of approximately 2.03 million people. Females account for 51.52% of the population, while males make up 48.48%. France has the third-largest absolute female surplus in Europe after Russia and Ukraine and ranks eighth worldwide.

In France, the male-to-female ratio has increased from 92.55 males for every 100 females in 1950, peaking at 96.04 in 1974. This sex ratio is expected to remain below 95 males per 100 females until 2080.

The sex ratio at birth in France is approximately 105.0 male births for every 100 female births. Historically, the ratio has remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow range from about 104.6 in 1963 to 105.5 in 1974, indicating minor variation over time.

As of 2026, France has more males than females in age groups below 30. The 20–24 age group has the highest male-to-female ratio, with 104.81 males for every 100 females. Among children under 15, the sex ratio stands at 104.61, while the working-age population (15–64) is slightly female-skewed, with 98.56 males per 100 females. However, the ratio declines sharply among those aged 65 and older, falling to 77.17 males for every 100 females. Among older adults, women substantially outnumber men: females account for nearly 69% of the population in the 94–99 age group and about 85% among centenarians.
