Abstrakt

The deteriorating demographic situation remains one of the key challenges for the countries participating in the Three Seas Initiative (3SI), which are among the fastest aging in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to look for all possible ways to deal with this problem. The condition for the profitability of an efficient infrastructure, the creation of which was the basic premise for establishing 3SI cooperation, is a sufficiently high number of its users. In this context, a promising field of cooperation between the countries participating in the initiative may be stimulating fertility through an appropriately programmed housing policy. This issue seems to be still insufficiently researched in the literature on the subject and not enough addressed in public policies. The aim of the paper is to examine how the regional policy could be also a platform supporting the demographic policy on the regional and EU level. It’s an attempt to take a closer look at the relationship between housing policy and fertility and answer the question, if the 3SI as an example regional platform could demonstrate a positive influence on development of housing policy as a tool of mitigating the demographic problem. The article was based on the analysis of the literature on the subject and of statistical data from Eurostat.
