Effects of demographic and population policy?

Doc. Ondřej Dvouletý wrote an article based on his research that contributes to a better understanding of the effects of public demographic and population policy. The study investigates whether a considerable increase in birth grants in 2006 in the Czech Republic resulted in a higher number of births. Our results, spread over several time windows covering up to a ten-year period after the intervention, show that the intervention significantly and positively affected the number of births in the post-intervention periods. The evidence obtained from the econometric analysis of the time series clearly shows that after the demographic and population policy change, there was an average increase of 17–19 births daily when the data was analysed up to 2016. Therefore, the conclusion is that the policy intervention led to expected and desired policy outcomes.
