Financial Support of Families in the Czech Republic and Slovakia from European Perspective: More Similar than Different?

Paper explores the character and impact of financial pro-family measures in a number of European countries. A micro-level analysis is applied to examine how much financial benefit is obtained by different types of families using a Model Family Method. The key questions addressed are: Do the Czech Republic and Slovakia still employ a similarly focussed and generous financial support for families with children? How do family subsidies in these two countries compare to those in other European states?
