Resumen
In conditions of aggravation the demographic problems in developed and developing countries, one of the most important goals of social and economic policy is the creation of comfortable conditions for increasing the birth rate. It should be noted, that the policy in this area is significantly differentiated among the countries. For example, the duration of maternity leave is 13 weeks in Ireland and 52 weeks in Albania, Montenegro; maternity benefits in Slovakia are paid in the amount of 65% of the previous earnings, while in most European countries the value of this indicator is 100%, but the period of payment of these benefits varies. In general, the conducted comparative analysis for European countries shows, that Austria, Hungary, Germany, Latvia, Norway and Sweden can be included in the list of countries with the best conditions. However, these countries are not exceptional leaders in terms of birth rate in Europe. It can be concluded, that the conditions of the social protection of motherhood and childhood are not the single factor, determining the birth rate in the state.
