[Certain problems of family allowances].

"The author deals with the influence of family allowance on the behaviour of the population [in Hungary].... In the author's opinion the system of family allowance, in which parents receive the same amounts of money for each child, does not promote equally the fertility of all strata of the society. Its economic incentive is most pronounced in the lowest income classes and decreases gradually in higher income families, as the allowance amounts, in their case, to an increasingly smaller part of the family income.... The author proposes a further improvement of the system of family allowance which would take into account the income of the family..., ensure value-stability, change with the child's age and...[begin] from the diagnosis of pregnancy."
