Impact of social security on fertility – a panel data analysis

Falling fertility rates, ageing population and their consequences on the economy are in center of attention of economists for quite some time. Some of the problems are emerging in social security programs, due to financial vulnerability of PAYG systems of pension insurance, a common system in a great number of countries. Since Croatia has a PAYG system for the first and biggest pillar of pension insurance, we examine theoretical and empirical research of interactions between PAYG benefits and total fertility rate. Results suggest that PAYG systems should have been taken into account when making policies for stimulating fertility.
