Using National Transfer Accounts and National Time Transfer Accounts for 12 countries around 2010, we go beyond public transfers (net taxes) to also value two statistically much less visible transfers in the family realm: of market goods and of unpaid household labour (time). Non-parents contribute almost exclusively to public transfers. But parents additionally provide still larger private transfers: mothers mainly time, fathers mainly market goods. Estimating transfer stocks over the working life, the average parental/non-parental contribution ratio in Europe flips from 0.73 (public transfers alone) to 2.66 (all three transfers combined). The highest combined parental/non-parental contribution ratios are in Sweden and Finland. The metaphorical tax rates implicitly imposed thereby on rearing children in Europe are multiples of the value-added tax rates in place on consumption goods. Unveiling the sheer magnitude of these invisible transfer asymmetries carries multiple implications for policy debates. For instance, it raises the question whether ageing European societies unwittingly tax, rather than subsidise, their own reproduction. Family friendly policy models, such as the Nordic welfare states, do not mitigate this effect. They help parents work, but do not lower the implicit tax parents pay.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2054-5703}, orcid-numbers = {Vanhuysse, Pieter/0000-0001-6496-8959; Gál, Róbert Iván/0000-0002-2326-8558} } @article{MTMT:33788825, title = {Six Ways Population Change Will Affect the Global Economy}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33788825}, author = {Mason, Andrew and Lee, Ronald and Mason, A. and Lee, R.D. and Abrigo, M. and Aliyev, R. and Amporfu, E. and Bengtsson, T. and Biao, B. and Bixby, L. and Bruil, A. and Bucheli, M. and Byambaa, E. and Chlon-Dominczak, A. and Comelatto, P. and Coy, D. and d’Albis, H. and Denissenko, M. and Donehower, G. and Doumbo, S. and Dramani, L. and Furnkranz-Prskawetz, A. and Gál, Róbert Iván and Gee, Ch. and Gonzalez, C. and Hamid, T.A. and Hammer, B. and Holz, M. and Istenic, T. and Jimenez-Fontana, P. and Ke, Sh. and Khondker, B. and Kim, H.K. and Kluge, F. and Koosheshi, M. and Ladusingh, L. and Lai, M.S. and Lee, S-H. and Long, Th. and Lopes, S. and Lupusor, A. and Macias, R.C. and Maliki, Matsukura R. and McCarthy, D and Mejia, . and Merette, M. and Mwabu, G. and Narayana, M.R. and Nava, I. and Nor, V. and Norte, G. and Ogawa, N. and Olaniyan, O. and Olivera, J. and Oosthuizen, M. and Patxot, C. and Rice, J. and Riyaza, F. and Saad, P. and Sambt, J. and Seckin, A. and Sefton, J. and Serafini, V. and Songvilay, L. and Souto, G. and Suwankitti, W. and Toan, Ph. and Torres, N. and Tovar, J. and Tung, A-C. and Turra, C. and Urdinola, P. and Vaittinen, R. and Zannella, M.}, doi = {10.1111/padr.12469}, journal-iso = {POPUL DEV REV}, journal = {POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW}, volume = {48}, unique-id = {33788825}, issn = {0098-7921}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1728-4457}, pages = {51-73}, orcid-numbers = {Mason, Andrew/0000-0003-4578-1800; Lee, Ronald/0000-0001-9755-0436; Gál, Róbert Iván/0000-0002-2326-8558} } @article{MTMT:33754467, title = {Welfare states as lifecycle redistribution machines: why the piggy bank dwarfs Robin Hood in Europe}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33754467}, author = {Vanhuysse, P. and Medgyesi, M. and Gál, Róbert Iván}, journal-iso = {OSE WP}, journal = {OSE Working Paper Series, Opinion Paper}, volume = {27}, unique-id = {33754467}, issn = {1994-2893}, year = {2022}, pages = {1-16}, orcid-numbers = {Gál, Róbert Iván/0000-0002-2326-8558} } @article{MTMT:32178432, title = {Welfare states as lifecycle redistribution machines.

However, by adding age to our models, we demonstrate that even if the status is irrelevant in explaining access to social benefits and services, age is not. Applying simple regression techniques, we compare both the theoretical importance (based on regression coefficients) and the dispersion importance (using Shapley-value decomposition of the R2) of age and SES in explaining the receipt of and contributions to both in-kind and in-cash benefits at the level of the general government in Hungary.
