86 SOCIAL SCIENTIST natalist programmes that were introduced. These pro-natalist programmes heavily favoured employed women and led to an increase in the fertility of employed women, while the decline in fertility of dependent women continued according to the previous trend. This led to an inversion of the fertility differential according to employment status. 34. Fertility and Family Planning in Europe Around 3970, op. dt. 35. Andorka, op. cit. Also see, R. Andorka, 'Comparative Demographic Analysis of Socio-Cultural Determinants of Fertility in European Socialist Countries where Fertility is Around the Replacement Level', International Population Conference, Manila, 1981. '66. See the source quoted in note 34. 37. Andorka, op. cit. Andorka's figures for Hungary show that the negative relationship between fertility and locality size exists only for settlements whose population exceed 10,000. For small settlements there is no such inverse relationship. It can be hypothesised that since small villages were economically stagnant and suffered from a negative migration balance, this could have encouraged the population of these villages to have larger families. Nor was fertility in urban areas clearly correlated with locality size of the settlements or their agricultural and industrial character. The suggestion is that it is factors like type of residence and distance from the central city that influence fertility more than locality size. 38. See the source quoted in note 34. 39.

Also see, David and Wright, op. dt. 51. Prior to February 1960, some liberalisation was implicit in the legislation of January 1952, which permitted abortion on undefined socio-medical grounds. Abortions were made available on request up to the tenth week of pregnancy, in 1969. Frejka, op. dt. 52. There was in addition legislation in 1977 for Slovenia and in 1978 for Croatia. 53.
