INSEE: 675,000 people died in France in 2022, 53,800 more deaths than expected. For the Institute, Covid-19 is not enough to explain this excess mortality.
The French population may also be facing a more structural evolution, with a brake on the gains in life expectancy that were observed each year, says INSEE. The deviation from the forecast (+8.7%) is higher than that seen in 2021 (+6.9%) and 2020 (+7.8%) – the year when Covid epidemic exploded.
