Economics Letters, 2015, vol. 133, issue C, 19-23

Abstract: This study analyzes how endogenous fertility and unemployment are affected by a social security system in an overlapping generations model. The analysis reveals that for any given minimum wage, the pension may improve fertility and decrease unemployment.
