- Sinclair et al. (open access) compile a dataset of monthly birth rates by maternal age and parity for the Australian state of Victoria over the period from 1983 to 2020, and apply a variety of different time series models to the data, finding that Australian family policy has mainly altered the timing of births rather than reversing the long-run fertility decline, and that the Australian 'Baby Bonus' led to only a short-lived impact, concentrated among second births
