A pénzbeli családtámogatási ellátások változásai 2010 és 2014 között, a kormányprogram célkitűzései tükrében

Abstract

Since the democratic transition in Hungary the central issue of every government’s family policy has been to stop and improve worsening demographic processes. Governments often emphasize the importance of family as the basic unit of society, the creation of a secure family life, the improving conditions for starting a family and the stopping of population decline. Furthermore, every government tends to claim that the status of families and children appeared to be the most favourable during their tenure. So it is worth examining whether such statements are true or not and what the various governments did to support families. The method of this examination is a comparative analysis of government programs and legal changes, through which we may get acquainted with the main governmental aims and the relevant legislative measures. Under this approach, this study examines the changes of financial family benefits in the period from 2010 to 2014.
