Family policy in Hungary

Family policy in Hungary has been a major focus of various Hungarian governments, with concerted political efforts to increase the country's birth rate and to stop its population decline dating back as far as the 1950s. The country generally follows models aiming to subsidize and encourage childcare for new parents. Specific academic and media attention have been directed to the pronatalist policies pursued by Hungarian governments under Mátyás Rákosi (as well as his minister of health Anna Ratkó) and Viktor Orbán.
