18jun06 THE introduction of the baby bonus on July 1, 2004,
caused more than 1000 scheduled births to be delayed, a new study
shows. Research by Melbourne Business School economist Professor Joshua Gans and
Australian National University economist Dr Andrew Leigh has shown there were
more births on July 1, 2004, than on any other single date in the past 30
years. "We estimate that around 700 births were shifted from the last week of June
2004 into the first week of July 2004," Dr Leigh said. "But more troublingly, we found that around 300 births were moved by more
than two weeks."
The researchers also found that the share of births that were induced or
delivered by caesarean section was high in July 2004. Dr Leigh said hospitals needed to plan for July 1 this year, when the bonus
rises from $3,000 to $4,000. "Maternity hospitals should expect fewer babies in the last week of June and
more in the first week of July," Dr Leigh said. |
