The fundamental part of this bachelor´s thesis part analyses the individual benefits in the period from 1945 to 1953, which are described in detail with subsequent changes. Czechoslovak coup d'état in 1948 did not have a significant impact on the shape of the social system in the 40s. Communist changes in social system had effect after 1951. Despite the proclaimed interest in the working people, the new communist power failed to ensure a rise in living standards. Families who wanted to maintain a certain standard of living had to have 2 incomes.
