Total Fertility rate, 2022, based on Eurostat in c/yurop@lemm.ee

[–] Servais@jlai.lu 14 points 1 year ago

A bit old, but still

Several evaluations suggest that policies that provide financial support to families or paid leave at the time of childbirth have a positive, but rather limited, impact in fertility. Of all the policies introduced over the years, provision of childcare services appears to be the most effective in encouraging families to have children and women to remain in the workforce.

French family policies provide a diversified system of supplementary resources in the form of money, time and services needed to raise children. The State provides support to diversified types of families with children at ages from early to late childhood. Another key ingredient has been the high stability of family policies, based on strong popular support. This stability gives confidence to families that they will benefit from continuous support from the birth of a child until entry into the school system and beyond. Such confidence creates a favourable environment for the decision to have children

Salento

I just had a look, that place looks amazing! Do you recommend for a week-trip, or is it too small?

I was in Lisbon a while back, very nice city. Interesting history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1755_Lisbon_earthquake), nice architecture, good food (those bacalaos!) and cool vibe overall.

This is the most exhaustive site I could find on the subject, as legislation evolves quite rapidly. Other maps I found were from a few years ago and didn't take into account recent developments.

Identified errors:

This is not correct for Romania: officially it’s Surname + Given-name, live in Hungary.

Not true for Greece, it’s just First-name + Surname. It just happens that some Surnames are derived from the father’s name (think “Anderson”).

I guess the answers are going to vary a lot depending on people's familial situations, but curious to see the answers.

[Culture] Recipe: Crêpes de la Chandeleur (Candlemas Pancakes) for Candlemas Day - Did you celebrate it? (www.lavenderandlovage.com)

Candlemas in those countries is also considered the day of crêpes.[18] Tradition attributes this custom to Pope Gelasius I, who had pancakes distributed to pilgrims arriving in Rome.[19] Their round shape and golden color, reminiscent of the solar disc, refer to the return of spring after the dark and cold of winter.[20] Even today, a specific symbolism can be associated with preparing the crêpes. A tradition is to flip the crepes in the air with the right hand while holding a gold coin (such as a Louis d'or) or some other coin in the left hand to have prosperity throughout the year. One has to ensure that the pancake lands properly back in the pan.[19]
