Consideration on the Process of Family Transformations in Communist Romania

Consideration on the Process of Family Transformations in Communist Romania In this study we suggest that the communist period, through the mechanisms of urbanization, industrialization and mass education changed the Romanian family in all of its aspects: structure, functions, size, roles, power, gender roles and so on. We argue that disruption is the proper term for describing the process of family transformations. Our conclusion is that, paradoxically, the roots of the modem Romanian family originate in the communist period even though one could claim that there is no such thing as modernity or modernism in communism!
