Interesting story on front page of The Guardian (and other newspapers) on the ending of a scheme in Spain which paid new parents 2500 euros (scheme was introduced in 2007 as a pro-natalist policy)
The scheme is ending because of public-spending cuts...
As the deadline approached (nominally, the end of 2010), Spanish mothers were apparently trying to have their babies so that they would qualify for the baby bonus...
A case study to connect the changes in finances with population policies...
