Government not supporting single parents enough?

Opposition Socialist lawmaker Ildikó Borbély Bangóné called for an increase in family support on Thursday, adding that some of the benefits had not changed for 13 years.
 
She told an online press conference that it was a lie that bringing forward January payments to December helped families.
 
“It only means that families will not get support for more than a month,”
 
she said.

Bangóné said that having children still represented “one of the greatest financial risks” in Hungary. The risk of ending up in poverty and social exclusion is especially high among single parents, with 28.2 percent of them living in poverty last year as against 21.6 percent in 2018, she added.
 
She also called for
 
expanding the group of people eligible for the government’s family home purchase subsidies (csok).

    In Hungary, we believe in Family! There should not be too many single parents, right?

    While there are legitimate reasons for parents to divorce, especially in abusive situations. It has also been proven that single-parent households tend to be more damaging to the long term well-being of children as shown by scientific studies (for example, in Estonia single-parent households are common while at the same time, it has a higher suicide rate than Hungary). Thus, while single-parent households should receive support, it shouldn’t also be encouraged.

    Norbert, a family is father mother and children. There is a father responsible for that child and he should participate in the financial support of the child.
