Abstract
On the basis of information gathered from 35,000 women and men across 14 European
countries, we ? rst look at attitudes towards fertility, children, and population dynamics.
Then we analyse the expectations about the number of children people wish to have
and expectations towards public policies to support them as parents. Finally, we assess
the possible demographic effects of policy measures that people wish and expect to
bene? t from. Most people are in favour of many traditional family policy measures. The possible
effects of such policies on fertility are estimated to be modest albeit not negligible.
The general conclusion is that the overall effect of the 13 traditional policy measures
on increasing the number of children may be estimated at between 6 percent and 13
percent. The general scienti? c insight leads us to a conclusion that a substantial and longlasting effect of policy measures to enable people to have the number of children
they wish can only be expected from a comprehensive change in the labour market
conditions and related enhancement of opportunities for individuals to manage their
life course in innovative ways. An important asset over which people have relatively
little control, up until the age at retirement, is time. Prolonged education, more-or-less long unemployment episodes, establishment in employment, postponement
of parenthood, ? rst birth in late 20s and/or experience of sub-fecundity in mid-30,
excessive pressure on time in mid-life, and long years of inactivity in retirement, are
features of dysfunctional economy of time in modern society. The future fertility levels
may be expected to be determined by the economy of time as lifes capital and not just
by selected palliate measures.
