It aims to extend the understanding of fertility-related behaviours in different ways: by explaining recent developments in fertility rates and their relationships to other social drivers; by developing and testing new and expanded models to explain the cross-country variation in fertility rates due to labour markets, social and fiscal policies, and individual characteristics.

Launch of a new thematic review

A new thematic review on "Reforming Sickness and Disability Policies to Improve Work Incentives" has been launched.
