Hungary family policies gaining international recognition, says minister in London
Change language:
Hungary’s demographic figures show the success of the government’s family policies, which have received international recognition, Katalin Novák, the minister for families, said in London on Monday.
Though Hungary’s demographics are still broadly negative, important indicators are headed in the right direction, Novák told Hungarian and British reporters, noting that Hungary’s fertility rate has increased to 1.56 from 1.23 since 2011, the biggest rise in the European Union. Britain, on the other hand, is seeing a decline in its fertility rate, the minister said.
Meanwhile, the number of marriages in Hungary over the past decade has doubled, also the biggest increase in the EU, she said.
Further, the employment of women in Hungary has increased at the second highest rate in the bloc, Novák said, adding that the mothers were active on the job market.
Next year’s budget, she said, allocates 6.2 percent of GDP to family support, as against the OECD average of 2.55 percent.
Minister of BS. You think it is smart to only bribe families…and the rest should pay your bribe with their taxes.
We will see after the elections if it was the right decision.
….Hungarian children are the smartest, handsomest, the best the world has to offer….
The FIDESZ government with the help of K. Novak will ensure that all these children will have a bright future.
Katalin, keep up the great job!
Poor mariavontheresa.
Poor mariavontheresa.
Well “Mészáros & Orbán,” if you want to be supported in your elder years then you should be happy about this policy. You cannot eat your cake (being socially supported) and have it too (not having children).
