Family Formation and the Future – A Conference on the Geopolitical, Cultural, and Legal Dimensions of Demographic Change – Day 1 First half

Danube Institute
The Geopolitical, Cultural, and Legal Dimensions of Demographic Change Overview The topic of family and fertility is more vital than ever. As demographic shifts reshape our civilization, public intellectuals, and policymakers are urgently seeking solutions to ensure that family life remains sustainable and free from economic constraints. This is particularly significant in Hungary, where the conservative government’s message is clear: childbearing should not be an economic burden. Conference Objectives The goal of the Danube Institute Family Formation conference is to provide a unique international platform for discussing the geopolitical, cultural, and legal dimensions of demographic change. Hungary is pursuing an unparalleled approach worldwide by supporting family formation with innovative economic measures and tax incentives, and it is ready to set an example for the international community in family policy as a pioneer in policy-making. Key Questions to Explore What are the social, cultural, and economic forces driving the decline in fertility rates in developed nations? What role should public policy play in strengthening marriage and family formation? How can we integrate truth, beauty, and goodness into public life to secure our future? How do patterns of migration, urban crime, and legal enforcement affect families and communities? Additionally, the conference will address the economic challenges hindering family growth—from rising housing and healthcare costs to the burdens on education and childcare—and explore innovative solutions, including tax incentives and labor market reforms, to make family life more accessible and sustainable.
