Tel: +36 99 508 343; Fax: +36 99 508 355 E-mail: [email protected], web: www.csfk.mta.hu, www.ggki.hu I. The main tasks of the institute in 2017 The object of the current basic research in the Geodetic and Geophysical Institute is the observation, modelling and interpretation of the physical condition and processes of planet Earth, as well as the development of the related theoretical (mathematical, physical) and experimental methods and instrumentation. The public responsibilities covered by our basic activity are: continuous observation of the solid Earth and the space around Earth (geodynamics, geomagnetism and aeronomy), maintenance of the national seismological network and service, provision of data associated with international cooperation, as well as operation of temporary surveillance systems. The activities of the institute that have direct economic importance are the natural resource exploration and the analysis of geological- geo- physical hazards. Research topics of the Institute that have traditionally outstanding success even by international standards are geomagnetism, magnetotellurics, seismology, aeronomy and geodynamics. Through its broadband electromagnetic measurements the Széchenyi István Geophysical Observatory of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences has a significant role in global networks of observatories and in international projects diagnosing the upper atmosphere and the plasma environment of the Earth. The Infrastructural developments from different grants (two GINOP applications: Cosmic Effects and Risks, Zero Magnetic Field Laboratory) and expanded international co-operations (ESF Topo-Europe, AlpArray, ARISE) are all building a basis for new interdisciplinary research topics.

  • Certain Aspects of Family Policy Incentives for Childbearing—A Hungarian Study with an International Outlook
    sustainability Article Certain Aspects of Family Policy Incentives for Childbearing—A Hungarian Study with an International Outlook Judit Sági 1,* and Csaba Lentner 2,* 1 Budapest Business School, University of Applied Sciences, H-1149 Budapest, Hungary 2 National University of Public Service, H-1083 Budapest, Hungary * Correspondence: [email protected] (J.S.); [email protected] (C.L.); Tel.: +36-30-2211408 (J.S.); +36-70-2877728 (C.L.) Received: 7 September 2018; Accepted: 29 October 2018; Published: 31 October 2018 Abstract: Decreasing trends in birth rates in developed countries during the past decades, which threaten the sustainability of their populations, raise concerns in the areas of employment and social security, among others. A decrease in willingness to bear children has been examined in the international literature from several (biological, socio-cultural, economic, and spatial, etc.) aspects. Among these, the question of the effectiveness of fiscal incentives has been raised, with arguments that these are positive, but not significant, to birth rates; our study also concludes this. In Hungary, from 2010 onwards, the government has introduced very high tax allowances for families and, from 2015, has provided direct subsidies for housing purposes, all within a framework of a new family policy regime. This paper presents an evaluation of family policy interventions (e.g., housing support, tax allowances, other child-raising benefits), with the conclusion that fiscal incentives cannot be effective by themselves; a sustainable level of birth rates can only be maintained, but not necessarily increased, with an optimal design of family policy incentives. By studying the Hungarian example of pro-birth policies there is shown to be a policy gap in housing subsidies.

This is not surprising, since close to 100 Hungarian professional foresters found employment in this province during the late 1950s and early 1960s. They worked in a variety of forestry and forest engineering jobs, and many of them rapidly elevated into influential positions.
