abstract: 'This paper discusses the potential of family policies to reconcile the
multiple objectives that they are expected to serve, over and above
their role in offsetting the economic cost of children. We start by
emphasizing the need to consider the multiple challenges that family
policies in European Union-and/or OECD-countries have to address through
a broadening of the standard economic approach to the cost of children.
Policies indeed aim to reduce the ``direct{''''} monetary cost of raising
children, but they also aim to minimise the indirect cost arising from
the incidence of children on the parents'' work-life balance and on the
aggregate level of employment. Moreover, motives for policy intervention
such as concerns about child development, gender equity or aggregate
fertility levels are not fully captured by cost measurements. We thus
analyse how, and to what extent, family policies can successfully
reconcile these multidimensional objectives. We offer a holistic
approach, pointing out that a coherent family policy mix supporting
working parents with preschool children is the only way to reconcile or
limit the conflicts between work, family and child outcomes. Three main
dichotomies are identified to explain cross-country differences in
family policy packages: the emphasis on poverty alleviation; the
supposed antagonism between fertility and female employment; and the
potential conflict between this latter and child development. Ways to
reconcile these objectives and to improve the effectiveness and
efficiency of family policies are further discussed.'
