COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PRACTICES OF FAMILY BENEFITS IN EU MEMBER STATES

Abstract

According to the ILO Convention No. 102, family benefits are a social security branch established to compensate for the increase in the expenditure of those protected due to the expenses necessary for the care of the children, they are responsible for, and to protect the level of life they have reached before the child's existence. Nevertheless, family benefits can make contributions in many such areas as increasing the fertility and population of the country, reducing poverty, preventing child poverty, extending the country's welfare level to the whole society, and raising physically and mentally healthier individuals. In this respect, countries develop various practices of family benefits depending on their social policies and welfare levels. Demographic structures and economic development levels of countries are generally taken into account in determining family benefits. Minimum standards of family benefits may be higher in economically developed countries. In this study, current practices in EU member countries are examined on the basis of minimum standards of family benefits under the Convention No. 102 and a comparative analysis of these practices is presented. As a result of the study, it has been determined that there is a child benefit application, which is a periodic payment aid, in all EU member states although there is no obligation to make periodic payments within the scope of family benefits in the Convention No. 102. In addition, it has been observed that many types of family benefits that can contribute to goals such as increasing birth rates and encouraging parents, especially women, to stay in employment are widely applied in EU member states.
