Inhalt: "This paper examines fertility and family policies in 15 Central and East European (CEE) countries to establish firstly, likely directions of cohort fertility trends for the coming decade; and secondly, to provide an overview and analysis of family policies in CEE countries, and to assess their impact on cohort fertility trends. Demographic analysis suggests that the cohort fertility decline of the 1960s cohorts is likely to continue at least among the 1970s birth cohorts; stagnation cannot be ruled out. Births that were postponed by women born in the 1970s were not being replaced in sufficient numbers for cohort fertility to increase in the foreseeable future, and shares of low parity women (childless and one child) were larger than shares of high parity women among the late 1960s cohorts than in older cohorts. Also, childbearing postponement which started in the 1990s is reflected in dramatic changes of childbearing age patterns. As period fertility rates have been increasing in the late 2000s throughout the region an impression of a fertility recovery has been created, however the findings of this project indicate that no such widespread childbearing recovery is underway. For the first time ever an overview and analysis of CEE family policies is conceptualized in this paper. It demonstrates that fertility trends and family policies are a matter of serious concern throughout the region. The following family policy types have been identified: comprehensive family policy model; pro-natalist policies model; temporary male bread-winner model; and conventional family policies model. The majority of family policies in CEE countries suffer from a variety of shortcomings that impede them from generating enhanced family welfare and from providing conditions for cohort fertility to increase. The likely further decline of cohort fertility, or its stagnation, may entail long-term demographic as well as other societal consequences, such as continuous declines in total population numbers, changes in age structures, as well as implications for health and social security costs."

Inhalt: "The present analysis compares the social conditions for different fertility rates in the nations of western Europe based on an array of socioeconomic indicators. It shows clearly that the traditionally negative correlation between wealth and social development on the one hand and fertility on the other no longer holds once a society has reached a certain level of development. Today more children are born in the countries with the most advanced social systems in regard to gender equality. Based on this result, we propose to discuss the problem of low-fertility countries from a different point of view. Neither child benefits nor other sources of financial aid appear to motivate people in modern industrial societies to have more children. What is far more crucial is equality of men and women in society." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "Nachhaltige Familienpolitik kann nur erfolgreich sein, wenn sie die unterschiedlichen Präferenzen von Frauen und Männern widerspiegelt. Eine integrative Konzeption aus Zeitoptionen, Infrastrukturangeboten und Geldtransfers kann diesen unterschiedlichen Lebensentwürfen gerecht werden." (Autorenreferat)

Inhalt: "Diese Untersuchung vergleicht die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen für die unterschiedlichen Kinderzahlen in westeuropäischen Nationen1 anhand einer Reihe sozioökonomischer Indikatoren2. Es wird deutlich, dass ab einem bestimmten Niveau gesellschaftlicher Entwicklung der historisch zu beo-bachtende negative Zusammenhang zwischen Wohlstand und Fortschritt einerseits und Geburtenraten andererseits nicht mehr gilt. Heute werden in jenen Ländern mehr Kinder geboren, die in Bezug auf die Gleichbehandlung der Geschlechter die modernsten Gesellschaftssysteme aufweisen. Auf Basis dieser Ergebnisse schlagen wir vor, das Problem nachwuchsarmer Länder aus einem neuen Blickwinkel zu diskutieren. Um Menschen in modernen Industriegesellschaften zu höheren Kinderzahlen zu motivieren, ist weniger die Höhe von Kindergeld und sonstigen Transferleistungen entscheidend. Ausschlaggebend scheint vielmehr die Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern in der Gesellschaft." (Autorenreferat)
