A third of young jobholders plan to find work abroad according to a survey prepared by K and H released on Sunday.
The representative survey prepared in the first quarter of this year showed that 34 percent of young workers plan to find a job abroad, at least for a certain period of time, K and H said. During the past nearly ten years, since young people’s job plans have been surveyed, similarly high figures were only reported in 2013 and early 2017, it added. At the same time, 27 percent of the young people surveyed said they had no plans whatsoever to look for work abroad.
Some 36 percent of the young workers aged 20-29 said they expected to find a new job easily. K and H said this was the best result since 2020. At the same time, 11 percent of young people were pessimistic, saying that it would be very difficult to find a new job.

Has this not been a systemic situation, throughout the term of office – the recently re-elected Government of Hungary ???
It’s a MASSIVE growing problem for Hungary.
The present Government continues to under address – this on-going and escalating problem.
We could be factually looking at an EXPLOSION of this worsening decaying situation – if the Government don’t re-think there STRATEGY – to keep maintain the youth – the Future of Hungary – from “all stations in life” in Hungarian Society – living, working, paying there taxes – into the Hungarian Economy.
Hungarys population – is not Growing.
Hungarys population “mean” is getting older.
Hungary – we are an Ageing Society.
Hungary – still in a trend – that more Citizens a year “Pass on” – than babies being born.
Scary – and of Great Concern – for the Future of Hungary.
