Social security developments in Central Europe: a return to reality

Abstract: The orientation of social security reform in the former communist countries of Central Europe is discussed. Reform measures are traced to their genesis in the immediate postcommunist period. It is argued that early reform efforts were hampered by a widespread belief that the functions of the existing social security system had to be preserved, leading to the ignorance of fundamental political & economic realities that shape such social legislation
