Abstract

U ovom radu fokus je na doplatku za djecu i njega kao mogućem čimbeniku u promjeni stope feritiliteta koja je u konstantom padu. Ne samo u Hrvatskoj nego i u drugim državama Europske Unije. Obitelj je najvažniji stup društva. Ona daje stabilnost i sigurnost te je važno za poslovni, mirovinski i socijalni sustav da se rađaju djeca. Definirali smo što je to feritilitet, što su to socijalne politike te da su obiteljske i populacijske politike dio socijalne. Izdvojili smo doplatak za djecu kao novčani transfer unutar obiteljskih politika i kako vladajući pokušavaju uz pomoć tog novčanog transfera utjecati na stopu feritiliteta. Nije jasno kako to zamišljaju vladajući u Hrvatskoj s obzirom da se doplatak za djecu nije povećao dva destljeća unatoč sve skupljem životu i inflaciji. Nije se proširio ni krug korisnika te naknade, već samo cenzus, za koji također postoji kritika s obzirom da će mnoge obitelji, u kojima su oba roditelja zaposlena na minimalnu plaću, biti iznad tog cenzusa i izgubiti pravo na doplatak. Također smo pregledalii kakvo je stanje sa doplatkom u drugim europskim državama, na koji način se ostvaruje pravo na doplatak te koliki je iznos. Također je zanimljiva informacija o udjelu dohotka u javnim rashodima kako bi se točno utvrdilo koliko koja država izdvaja za doplatak za djecu. Podrobnije smo pogledali i Njemačku s kojom se Hrvatska u narodu često uspoređuje. Rad služi kao temelj za naredna istraživanja u budućnosti.

Abstract (english)

In this paper, the focus is on the children benefit and its possibility as a factor in changing the fertility rate, which is in constant decline. Not only in Croatia, but also in other countries of the European Union. The family is the most important pillar of society. It provides stability and security, and it is important for the business, pension and social system that children are born. We defined what fertility is, what social policies are, and that family and population policies are part of social policies. We singled out the children benefit as a monetary transfer within family policies and how the rulers try to influence the fertility rate with the help of this monetary transfer. It is not clear how the rulers in Croatia envision this, considering that the allowance for children has not increased for two decades despite the increasingly expensive life and inflation. The circle of beneficiaries of this benefit has not expanded either, but only the threshold, for which there is also criticism considering that many families, in which both parents are employed on the minimum wage, will be above this threshold and lose the right to the benefit. We also reviewed the situation with the benefit in other European countries, how the right to the allowance is exercised and what the amount is. Information about the share of income in public expenditures is also interesting in order to determine exactly how much each country allocates for child support. We also took a closer look at Germany, with which Croatia is often compared among the people. The paper serves as a foundation for further research in the future.
