Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the study is to provide a comparative perspective on the pronatalist policies of the two communist countries: Romania and Hungary. Beyond the general ideological and political context of the entire Communist Bloc, the paper focuses on three major coordinates: 1. gender differences and the way they were handled by each state; 2. the drafting of legislation on abortion, family and social protection, and the effective implementation of pronatalist policies (restrictive measures vs. incentives); 3. assessing the impact of these policies.
