Modern Behaviour,Traditional Values - Changes in the Family since 1990

Summary/Abstract: Numerous surveys show that in values and attitudes Hungarian society still feels the family to be more important than career, selfrealisation, recreation and other social relationships; married people have usually been considered happier than the unmarried, and the family has generally been thought of as the most important (if not the only) space in which solidarity can be expressed. Though the values attached to the family are to some extent undergoing modernisation, in general they have remained far more traditional than the parallel values in western European countries. Over the last fifteen years, however, the demographic behaviour of the Hungarian populace, and especially that of the younger generations, has become much like that of Western Europe. There are now new forms of family formation, which have emerged in parallel with a much slower transformation of values.
