Analyses of Recent Developments of the Family in Austria. WIFO Contributions to the 6th Austrian Family Report 2009-2019

The contribution on "Migration and Integration" (section 16 in the Family Report) examines how the initial disadvantage of immigrants decreases with increasing length of stay and over generations. The equalisation of living conditions is relatively slow in housing and education. In the chapter "Family Policy in Europe" (section 18 in the Family Report), it is shown that in addition to equalising financial burdens for families and promoting births, reconciling family and work has become an important family policy goal for mothers and fathers in Europe. The chapter "Distributional effects of family policy benefits in Austria" (section 19 in the Family Report) examines the structure and distributional effects of family policy benefits in Austria as well as their financing.
