And when people do not have as many children as they wish, individual and family well-being both suffer. Accordingly, policy strives to help adults have as many children as they would like at the time of their choosing (OECD, 2011). Yet the role and effectiveness of policy in increasing fertility is under debate (Thevenon and Gauthier, 2011; Thevenon, 2015). Might it be that such reform, which seeks to develop a package of policies that help reconcile work and family life, also exerts a positive influence on fertility outcomes and intentions? To what extent does the evidence from the experience of OECD countries support that conjecture?
