Abstract EN

We examine how fertility reacts to the public provision of child allowances in a small open economy with overlapping generations.

When the labour market is competitive, we find that a child allowance policy acts as a fertility-enhancing device.

In contrast, when the labour market is unionised the child policy may be ineffective.
