The opposition Socialists have called for a “meaningful parliamentary and social dialogue” to prevent the further emigration of Hungary’s labour force.

Socialist MP Zsolt Molnár told a press conference on Tuesday that the ruling parties overlook the “tragic” tendency in which 600,000 people have left Hungary for other European countries in recent years, while another half million are planning to do so.

“The Hungarian labour market will be lacking hundreds of thousands of skilled people, further increasing the labour shortage primarily in the construction, catering and health sectors,”

Molnár said, adding that decent salaries and a predictable future could help ease the problem.

Molnár called on the government to set up a state secretariat to focus on issues around emigration and conduct a “meaningful national consultation” concerning the matter.

Some CEOs told the ICT Association of Hungary that they even had to withdraw from contracts and agreements because of the lack of workforce.
