<P> Canada's birthrate is 1.60 births per woman as of 2015, more closely resembling a European country than Australia or the USA . </P> <P> France has been successful in increasing fertility rates from the low levels seen in the late 1980s, after a continuous fall in the birth rate . In 1994, the total fertility rate was as low as 1.66, but perhaps due to the active family policy of the government in the mid 1990s, it has increased, and maintained an average of 2.0 average from 2008 until 2015 . </P> <P> France has embarked on a strong incentive policy based on two key measures to restore the birth rate: family benefits (les allocations familiales) and a family - coefficient of income tax (le quotient familial). Since the end of World War II, early family policy in France has been based on a family tradition that requires children to support multi-child family, so that a third child enables a multi-child family to benefit from family allowances and income tax exemptions . This is intended to allow families with three children to enjoy the same living standards as households without children . </P> <P> In particular, the French income taxation system is structured so that families with children receive tax breaks greater than single adults without children . This income tax imposition system is known as the family coefficient of income tax . A characteristic of the family factor is that households with a large number of children, even if they are at the same standard of living, can receive more tax exemption benefits . </P>
