PM Orbán was right? Marriage boom in Hungary
Change language:
The Hungarian PM always says the West does not want to survive since they welcome migrants instead of supporting families to have more children. Check out in the article why in Hungary there have been more weddings recently.
Based on a recent presentation of Balázs Kapitány, a fellow of the Hungarian Demographic Research Institute, the number of marriages concerning an expecting mother is increasing in Hungary because of the government’s family support policy – portfolio.hu reported. Mr Kapitány gave a lecture titled Demography, social structure and deviance in the Hungarian Demographic Research Institute of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office. During that, he talked about why
the number of “shotgun marriages” increased.
Of course, it is not unique that somebody gets pregnant before saying the “I do’s”, and the phenomenon has been a hot topic of the science of demography for long. In Hungary, one can easily find the relevant data. The statistical office does not only collect the date of birth of the children but also of the parent’s marriage. As a result, it can be easily calculated how many “shotgun marriages” happened in a given period and their rate compared to the altogether number of marriages.
According to Balázs Kapitány, the peak of such marriages was in the 90s in Hungary. After the change of the regime, their rate reached 25 pc. Later it decreased to 20 pc. In 1990 this meant more than 15 thousand marriages, while, in 2009, that number dropped to 7,000.
After 2010, the trend reversed again.
Right on!
Postponements – due to the on-going novel coronavirus – the longtivity of lock down – a Major Factor why the increase of numbers in those “tying the knot.”
“For better or for worse, in sickness and in Health” – may they through there devoted Love – be the “sowers ” of many seeds, that sees a population explosion within the Hungarian new borns.
Prime Minister – Victor Orban – did “put us on notice” in 2019 – if we don’t “sow the seeds” – we will Perish.
What lateral clear thinking of the 21st century – plan or idea – could Prime Minister – Victor Orban provide for the “planting of the seeds” – another Incentive – to grow the activity business – in those Hospital Maturnity Wards ???
Remember – the Gift of God that is a child – as they grow from a Parenting perspective – they NEVER get cheaper.
English expression often in “jest” used is – “they are cheper by the dozen.”
We know that is not FACT.
Prime Minister – Victor Orban – wonderful opportunity in the lead up to the National Elections May 2022 – to stand in front and before us – and ANNOUNCE – if those amongst us – through the “sowing of the seeds of life ” – grow our Maturnity Wards – they WILL be Rewarded.
Citizens – by Government under Democracy – Families must be Loved and Cared for – and that means Financially assisted when the “little ones” from the “sowing of the seed” – come into this World.
