Outline of Final Research Achievements

As for the interrelationship between welfare policy and economic policy in Central and East European countries, party politics and political issues of each country have a great influence. In the countries that the economic right-left axis works, economic and welfare policies oscillate according to the change of government. In the countries that the post-communist parties have adapted neoliberal economic and welfare policies, conservative or liberal parties have made the collection of the welfare policy, but in this case retrenched welfare policies have been untouched, except some conservative governments that have introduced generous family benefits.
