Marriage-law legal-status research recorded: not recognized, no new policy deduction. This legal-status audit is not evidence that a marriage law changed fertility.
Legal status: pending → not_recognized
Family Formation policy deduction: −0.00 category points (subject to the −100 floor)
Bulgaria: no generally available nationwide domestic same-sex civil marriage is recorded by the 2026-10-10 legal-status review. EU-related recognition of foreign marriages does not establish domestic same-sex marriage. This describes legal status, not a demonstrated effect on birth rates.

EU and national investment support durable infrastructure, while housing, transport and energy-efficiency backlogs require continued repair.

Food availability is strong, while low-income households still depend on purchased food and targeted social protection rather than universal free provision.
Sources at first snapshot (1)
Universal health structures exist, but around one in ten people remain uninsured and out-of-pocket payments are unusually high for the EU.

Home ownership is high, yet housing quality, energy efficiency and affordability are uneven and social-housing reach remains limited.
Sources at first snapshot (1)
EU-funded public systems and rising incomes reduce some burdens, but poverty, regional inequality and administrative friction still consume substantial household time.
Sources at first snapshot (1)
EU free movement and Schengen access provide strong entry pathways; temporary protection for people fleeing Ukraine is extended, while citizenship by birth is conditional rather than broad jus soli and asylum integration remains uneven.
Sources at first snapshot (1)
EU legal institutions provide a strong baseline, but anti-corruption, administration and access-to-services challenges remain.

Private property and agricultural land are widely available through markets, but ordinary productive land is not universally free.

EU climate investment improves resilience, while inefficient housing stock, energy poverty and climate risks remain substantial.

EU transport investment improves connectivity, but regional access, road dependence and transport affordability remain material frictions.
Sources at first snapshot (1)
Public parks, coast, mountains and cultural assets create substantial non-market value, with poverty and regional service gaps limiting equal enjoyment.
Sources at first snapshot (1)
Water and sanitation reach are broad, but regional infrastructure and affordability gaps remain and household service is normally billed.
