Comparative Analysis of State Support for Multi-Child Families in V4 Countries in 2020-2023

This master's thesis focuses on the comparison of policies supporting multi-child families in the Visegrad Group (V4) countries during the period 2020-2023. It is divided into two main parts, theoretical and practical, utilizing literary research, data analysis (description and comparison), and synthesis throughout its scope. The theoretical part primarily examines family and family policy in economic theory as presented by various authors, which serves as the basis for the practical part. The practical part explores the current situation of complete multi-child families and the supportive measures provided to them in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary based on data from public institutions. Identification of key trends in supporting multi-child families and analysis of its effectiveness and success lead to proposed pro-family measures in these countries. These proposals may primarily focus on enhancing the self-sufficiency of these families and more effectively preventing their descent into poverty and social exclusion in the real world. Within the collaborative approach of the V4 countries in the field of family policy, the thesis recommends maintaining a low level of harmonization while increasing cooperation among government representatives. Furthermore, this entire master's thesis can serve as a basis for further research in the examined area.
