  • A Comparative Analysis of Family Support in Central and Eastern Europe. The Model Family Method

Project Duration: 2009 - 2011

Category: Projects

There is today no definitive agreement among social scientists about the nature of family policies in Central and Eastern European countries(CEE). Often national family policies are evaluated using general macro-level criteria, where the financial impact of such policies on different types of families is ignored. This project uses a micro-level analysis to examine how much financial benefit is obtained by different types of families using a model family method. The generosity of governments toward different types of families will be defined in terms of the tax benefit system. The key questions addressed are: Which family types are supported most by national governments? Which governments are most generous to families? Is the Czech Republic most similar to the CEE or Western European model?
