“…We owe detailed accounts of family policy adaptation to single-country analyses for periods of ten-to-fifteen years. Many offer useful insight into reform outputs, with more work on some national contexts than others (for Hungary, see Haney, 1999;Gábos, 2000;Ferge, 2001;Fodor et al, 2002;Inglot et al, 2012;Hašková and Saxonberg, 2016;Szikra, 2018; for Romania, see Fodor et al, 2002;Inglot et al, 2012;Popescu, 2015;Kovács et al, 2017;Kovács, 2018; for Lithuania, see Gavelis and Visockas, 2013;Aidukaite, 2018). It is this body of work that has commented on the implications of social policy adaptation for social rights, more frequently, though, homing in on paid leave schemes and ECEC services rather than family transfers.…”

The article analyses over-time changes in family transfers in Hungary, Lithuania and Romania from 1990-2018 to seek evidence of similarity in the ethos of policy adaptation. Informed by recent scholarship signalling growing disparities in social entitlements along socio-economic lines in Hungary and Romania, the analysis assesses whether three decades of change in family transfers in three different policy contexts might exhibit the selective, pro-wealthy ethos of social policy transformation described. Using data from an original dataset drawing on exhaustive social legislation pertaining to family allowances, family tax breaks and paid parental leave-related transfers, the article shows that, for most of the last three decades, institutional dualisms in the protection of families with dependent children have grown. Policy drift undercuts the rights of the neediest and policy layering leads to programme expansion targeting dual-earner, high-income families especially. This trend has intensified over the last fifteen years and is most evident in paid leave schemes.

“…Still, the benefit is ungenerous by any standard. Furthermore, its conditioning on regular school attendance starting in 2011 made it exclusionary towards the poorest families, those whose children leave school early (Popescu, 2015;Kovács, 2018).…”

“…On the contrary, psychosocial traumatic experiences included fear, frustration, stress, hopelessness, loneliness exerted continuous substantial impacts on social and mental well-being (Rahman et al, 2021;Mamun and Griffiths;. Overall, Covid-19 is heightening the risks of the social order and equilibrium by posing enormous challenges to the entire human population in so many ways (Bonea and Rosca, 2022;Chakraborty and Maity, 2020;Dan et al, 2020).…”

Whilst the world is experiencing an unprecedented and devastating public health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, scholars have apprehended that economic, social and mental health consequences brought by the pandemic might intensify suicidality amongst people. At this backdrop, this content analysis traces the relationship between suicidality and the COVID-19 pandemic employing Emile Durkheim's classical theoretical postulation of the sociology of suicide in the context of Bangladesh. The analysis is based on case reports identified through online newspaper search spanning from January 01 to May 15, 2020. During this period, 10 Covid-19 induced suicide cases were identified. The analysis of the findings captures the linkages between COVID-19 crisis and suicidal behavior according to Durkheim's four-fold typology of the social causation of suicide. The identified cases were fit into egoistic (2), anomic (5) and fatalistic (3) categories. No case was relevant to the altruistic category. As there is no national suicide prevention strategy in Bangladesh, this analysis highlights several immediate and short prevention strategies. Furthermore, this analysis contributes to our sociological understanding that Durkheim's macro-level theory has the potentials to analyze microlevel/case-based suicide incidents.
