„Taxa pe celibat”, una dintre cele mai controversate taxe din România. Cât plăteau angajații fără copii la stat

Romania implemented a controversial tax on childless individuals from 1967 to 1991, aimed at increasing birth rates. Initially a tax increase, it evolved into a fixed monthly contribution based on income. The tax applied to all individuals over 25 without children, regardless of marital status. Despite its intent to boost natality, statistics show a temporary rise in birth rates followed by a decline. The tax was abolished in 1991 as part of broader reforms.
