State approaches to family in Poland, Hungary and Romania
Review by Orel Beilinson
In Mothers, Families or Children? Family Policy in Poland, Hungary, and Romania, 1945-2020 (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2022), Tomasz Inglot, Dorottya Szikra and Cristina Raț offer a comparative historical study of family policies couched in a new theoretical framework to identify core and contingent clusters of benefits and services in each country. Orel Beilinson writes that, beyond its specific analyses, the book serves as a fantastic reference for scholars of family and welfare policies of other regions.
