Abstract

Primarni cilj ovog diplomskog rada je ispitati utjecaj visine državnih izdataka za socijalnu skrb na fertilitet u zemljama EU-27. Prilikom provođenja empirijske analize, utjecaj izdataka za socijalnu skrb na fertilitet analizirati će se primjenom statičkih panel modela u ekonometrijskom programu STATA uz pripremu podataka u Microsoft Excelu. Nezavisne varijable uključuju državne izdatke za socijalnu skrb (TGSE), dummy varijablu Recesija, te HDI. Zavisna varijabla podrazumijeva fertilitet mjeren kroz TFR. Postavljena je istraživačka hipoteza prema kojoj rast izdataka za socijalnu skrb dovodi do rasta fertiliteta. Budući da je dokazan negativan odnos između državnih izdataka za socijalnu skrb i fertliteta, statistička hipoteza ne može se potvrditi. Prema tome, zaključuje se da veće naknade socijalne skrbi nisu dovoljan motivator koji potiče parove na zasnivanje obitelji. S obzirom da socijalne naknade ne determiniraju rast fertiliteta RH i ostale zemlje EU-27 ipak trebaju veću pozornost usmjeriti definiranju populacijske politike, te veći dio raspoloživih sredstava alocirati u mjere aktivnog zapošljavanja kojima bi se stvorio veći
broj radnih mjesta, rast plaća i blagostanja, posljedično i fertiliteta.

Abstract (english)

The primary goal of this thesis is to examine the impact of the level of government spending on social welfare expeditures on fertility will be analyzed using static panel models in the econometric program STATA with the preparation of data in Microsoft Excel. Independent variables include government welfare expenditure (TGSE), the dummy variable Recession and HDI. The dependent variable implies fertility measured through TFR. A research hypothesis has been set according to which the growth of social welfare expenditures leads to an increase in fertility.Since a negative relationship between government welfare expenditure and fertility has been proven, the statistical hypothesis cannot be confirmed. Therefore, it is concluded that higher
social welfare benefits do not determine the growth of fertility, the Repubil of Croatia and other EU-27 countries should still pay more attention to defining population policy, and alocate most oft he available funds to active employment measures that wolud create more jobs, wage growth and welfare, conseqently and fertility.
