Work, Family & Social Policy. An analysis of socio-economic differentials in family formation based on an Administrative Socio-Demographic Panel (ASDP) for Belgium.

This project aims - similar to research in Denmark and Germany - to use administrative paneldata from the Belgian Social Security and Population Registers to analyse i) recent trends in order-specific fertility and ii) socio-economic differences in the combination of work and family. Results are linked to the literature and typologies of Wellfare state regimes and empirical results on differential uptake of measures.
