This Decree-Law rationalizes and updates maternity and paternity leave regulations introduced in Portuguese Law No. 4/84 of 5 April 1984 and Decree-Law No. 136/85 of 3 May 1985. The following are the major changes made by the Decree-Law: 1) the establishment of a six-month waiting period as an eligibility requirement, irrespective of the professional category of the recipient; 2) retroactive computation of the eligibility period from the time of the initial payment of the social security tax associated with other welfare benefits; 3) increase in the amount of the benefit for children requiring parental assistance during an illness to 65% of an index expressing a proportion of past contributions by individual recipients; 4) establishment of minimum benefits to be granted to casual workers or to workers with low incomes. These minimum benefits equal 50% of the benefit for which full-time workers in any given occupational category are eligible. In addition, the Decree-Law provides that workers on leave of absence with pay and current recipients of unemployment benefits are not eligible to receive maternity and paternity benefits dealt with by the Decree-Law.

This is an overview of population policies and their underlying doctrines in Eastern European countries since World War II. The author describes three chronological stages: "an orthodox populationist stage, from 1945 to 1955...; a phase of liberalization of abortion and at times of contraception from 1955 to 1965; and from this latter date, as a reaction against the accelerated decline of fertility, a phase of abortion and divorce restriction and of growing aid to family, likewise [marked] by the creation of National Population Committees and Institutes of Demographic Research." The countries of Eastern Europe are divided into three classifications: those with no population policy (Albania only); those with indirect measures, including Poland, Yugoslavia, and the USSR; and those with explicit, quantitative demographic goals, including Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, and Romania. The effectiveness of selected population policies is assessed. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
