“…Szelewa and Polakowski (2008) document large differences across the Eastern European countries in the development of childcare policies. Importantly, changes have not been monotonic but fluctuating, making it difficult to understand whether these countries will converge to Western-style care regimes (Teplova 2007). As is evident from Figure 1, the post-communist countries included in this analysis (Bulgaria, Georgia, Hungary, and Russia) do not appear to be very similar for what concerns the provision of childrearing for children less than three years of age.…”

“…Before the 1990s the state provided limited, although uniform, support to families, mainly in the form of maternity leave, child allowances, and childcare facilities. Access to benefits occurred through full-time employment (Teplova 2007). Most importantly, under socialism special incentives were used to encourage women to join the labour force, which included, among other things, generous childcare services (Szelewa and Polakowski 2008).…”

“…According to Avdeev, Blum & Troitskaya (1995), the total abortion rate in 1989 Changes in social policy and a decline in state and firm-sponsored family services (Fajth 1999;Teplova 2007) increase the likelihood that new constraints emerged for family expansion.…”

International audienceLittle is known about fertility in Armenia and Moldova, the two countries that have both, according to national statistics, experienced very low levels of fertility during the dramatic economic, social and political restructuring in the last two decades. This article fills this gap and explores recent fertility behaviour and current fertility preferences using 2005 Demographic and Health Survey data. Educational differences in fertility decline and the association between socioeconomic indicators and fertility preferences are considered from an economic perspective. Special emphasis is given to determining whether and how diverging economic conditions in the two countries as well as crisis conditions may have influenced fertility. Second parity progression ratios (PPR) reveal a positive relationship between the degree of decline from 1990 to 2005 and education, whereas third PPR declines appear the greatest for women with both the lowest and highest education. In both countries, logistic regression results suggest that working women are more likely to want a second child, as well as want the child sooner university than later in Armenia, and the wealthiest women in Armenia have a higher odds of wanting a third child. Dual-jobless couples are less likely to want a second child in Moldova and more likely to postpone the next child in Armenia. These findings offer some insight into the shifts in fertility behaviour in these two post-Soviet countries and suggest that despite diverging economic trajectories and a lessening commitment to the two-child norm in Moldova, determinants of fertility behaviour and preferences have remained similar in both countries

“…An examination of the developments of family policies in Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary indicates a tendency of implementing familist, gendered policies that encourage women to leave the labor market to raise children (Saxonberg and Sirovatka 2006). Similarly, since the 1990s, Russia experienced significant reforms of its sociopolitical and social systems which were associated with important ideological changes and in terms of childcare, these changes transformed the Russian welfare system towards a neo-familism model of care (Teplova 2007). Fodor et al (2002) conducted an analysis of family policies in Hungary, Poland, and Romania and concluded that the three countries differ significantly in the ways which they handle parenthood and gender issues.…”
