Klára Dobrev's post on Thursday afternoon is a deliberate misrepresentation, Piroska Szalai believes in her article published on Mandiner.
Between 2010 and 2020, the number of women aged 20-40, i.e. the most active parenting age, in Hungary decreased by 17%, by 257,000 people! Nevertheless, fewer women had 2,665 more children in 2021 than in 2010. s 4951 more than in 2011!
Our fertility rate was 1.25 in 2010 and improved to 1.59 by 2021. This is the biggest improvement in the entire European Union, and we have finally reached the level before the Bokros package.
It is important to know that in 2005, the largest "cohort" , those born in 1976, in which we find nearly 90,000 women. In 2020, the number of women of the same age was below 60,000. Nowadays, the average age of mothers is 29-30. If the governments of Medgyessy-Gyurcsány-Bajna had wanted to do something so that the desired children could be born in our country, their most effective measures would have been between 2005 and 2007. But at this exact time, nothing was done to support the families. In fact, since 2008, raising children has become a real financial disadvantage.
Let's watch the numbers, the numbers don't lie!"
