  • Fertility decisions and alternative types of childcare Updated

    Chiara PronzatoSharon PiccoStefania Ottone, October 2024

This is a demographic and social issue that is likely to grow in importance for future generations. It is therefore crucial to understand what factors can positively influence fertility decisions. Policies related to the availability and costs of different kinds of childcare (e.g. formal care, grandparents, childminders) should be considered after an evaluation of their effects on the probability of women having children.
