"State interventionism in the family...is usually
justified as a necessary correction of allocative and/or distributive
distortions. A critical analysis of this argument, however, reveals
three related aspects: 1) A changed regenerative behaviour is often
less the result of inefficient inter-family decisions; rather it
results from an efficient reaction to changed economic and political
conditions. 2) Optimal inter-family decisions can be prevented by
imperfect capital markets and interventionism of the welfare state. 3)
A receding rate of fertility leads probably not only to a more even
inter- and intra-family distribution of income, but also influences the
inter-generational distribution in a positive
way."

dimension of the fiscal system, family benefits, the family and labor

which is the family dimensions of housing policies. Volume 2 looks at
similar topics on a country-by-country basis.

"This paper examines the extent to which governments [in developed
countries] have been concerned by the demographic changes which have
taken place since the 1960s. The comparative analysis, based on a
review of selected demographic-related state initiatives, reveals major
differences across countries in the attitudes of governments to
population and family issues. The paper also contrasts the differences
between the post-1960s situation and the 1930s one when the low
fertility levels and the transformations undergone by the family had
also captured the attention of governments. The paper then concludes
by looking at the role played by non-governmental social actors in the
discussion surrounding population and family
issues."

"This paper
investigates the influence of politically determined wage rates on
migration between Germany's new and old states. Apart from their direct
influence on expected income and hence on migration, nominal wages
affect migration indirectly by the unemployment they generate. Under
reasonable assumptions the relation between nominal wages and migration
is negative. The long-run influence of wages on capital accumulation
and hence employment opportunities emphasizes that wage policy can be
used either to control the long-run population stock or to stop
migration immediately. That latter requires instantaneous wage-rate
adjustments and initial wage-rate
undershooting."

Netherlands and Sweden. The author concludes that large-scale
